Please remember that you are valuable

If you’ve read my previous posts you know that I suffer from depression and anxiety issues. This time of year is always tough for me just like most other people who have mental health issues. Less sunlight, plus the holidays and the general stresses of life can make things seem overwhelming. If you’ve watched the news or been on the internet lately I’m sure you’ve read about at least one person committing suicide. I just wanted to take a moment to remind you that you are valuable, irreplaceable, and loved. If you are struggling, please reach out for help. Find a local suicide hotline, call a friend, call a family member, or call me. Please call someone. I promise you that the person you call would rather be woken by you in the middle of the night because you need them rather than being notified of bad news by the police. Needing help doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human. No matter what you might think, you are valuable. Your life is precious and if something happened to you at least one person’s heart would be broken.
