I can't believe it's really been a whole year since I started this series. I've been blown away by the response from people of all walks of life and all over the world who have had similar experiences or are having their own battles with mental health.
Through laughs and tears and bumps and falls and scrapes, it's been a priviledge to share with you.
It has been immensely humbling and healing to trade stories a real exercise of catharsis.
I still have many chapters to go, ghosts to deal with and hurts to heal, but I have found that writing this series has quite possibly been the most healthy thing I have done for myself, and my children and my beautiful and loving partner @zakludick, aside from actually seeking professional help and being prescribed the correct medication.
Thank you to everyone that's reached out, shared some love, their own stories and even just taken the time to read and upvote my posts.
