Depressed, Anxious, and PROUD

I started becoming very vocal about my struggle with depression, anxiety, and history of suicidal thoughts about 6 months ago after losing a second brother to suicide. Today I had a corporate client/ "big wig" come up to me after reading my blog and said "Aren't you afraid to tell people you are crazy?"
You may be wondering what did you say?! First, I laughed and then I said I am proud of my challenges and what I have gone through. Most people take happiness and peace for granted but those who have to crawl through darkness on their hands and needs have an appreciation and strength most will never understand.
My rant for today is to be proud of who you are, what you struggle with, and what you have been through. You are amazing and stronger than you know.
Much love,
Mettie
