Recovery

A Misery Unspoken

I have been sober for the last 8 months and I am proud of myself. On top of not drinking, I have finally been able to let go of smoking cigarettes. I have been crying so much lately because I can’t believe that I have been able to let go of drinking. I have been able to work consistently again, I’ve made new friends and beginning to have a social life again, and I feel like I can think clearer. I’m sorry, I know my post doesn’t sound as deep or exciting as the others I’ve read on here, but I just wanted to share my moment. -AJ

Ever since being diagnosed, I hear so many people speak of mental illness as a cry for attention or selfishness, and the beliefs on that has to change. This page is also for those who are seeking understanding after loosing someone to suicide, or those who feel in the dark with the situation. Most importantly this page is dedicated to those who are suffering in silence and feels alone like I did for so many years.
