Without losing you I wouldn’t have forced myself to feel, to encourage the emotions I once ran from to surface, to feel the weight of tears or bursting energy of anger. I wouldn’t have shown myself it is okay to feel, to stand true in the thoughts of my mind.

To telling people how you felt, regardless of what you SHOULD say or not say?

Medication isn’t the answer. We don’t need a pill to ‘fix’ us. We aren’t broken. Please, please don’t look for an external fix for an internal battle.
