This is our story.

Don't go to the dark alone. It's also important to not feel afraid to express your feelings.

I hear you. I see you. I feel you. I understand.

The seaside, especially during the golden hour, has been both a tranquil witness and a trustworthy companion for my mental health journey.

Their pureness makes me feel so relaxed and I can just escape from my emotions. Petting and playing with them totally changes my mood.

I will say that when everyone has abandoned you, even when society has abandoned you, don’t be the one that also abandons yourself.

These are just different takes on life, emotionally enriching in their own unique way.

The pressure I put on myself to fight and right the wrongs done to me did as much damage than any other source. It’s ok not to be ok.

I am most proud of myself. I still can't believe I recovered from depression and a psychotic episode and have a bright life ahead of me.

I learned to practice self-love and stopped searching for it elsewhere.

Other angels are coming. They listen with patience. You listen to them with patience.

it’s okay to struggle. The point is we have to accept our vulnerabilities.

It takes courage to overcome the internal-fear. I was fortunate enough that people surrounding me are open-minded.

I love to spend time with my friends who have been a pillar of support for me.

Being a survivor of postpartum psychosis is only a tiny part of who I am and, if anything, this journey made me stronger.

The longest day is only 24 hours, the longest hour is only 60 minutes, and the longest minute is only 60 seconds.

The stigma around mental health made me unwilling to share my true feelings, my depression, and my anxiety with family and friends.

I understand myself better, what I want in my life and what kind of person I would like to be.

Being vulnerable doesn't equate to being weak; it actually takes a lot of courage to show my vulnerabilities to others.

Learning to acknowledge my emotions has improved my self-acceptance - no matter if it's my strength or weakness, it is part of me.

I will always remember the conversations and phone calls where I felt so loved, seen, and heard by them.
