My True Story #No51

"I've suffered from anxiety & depression for over 25 years now. I was always embarrassed and didn’t talk about until my daughter at the age of 18 got diagnosed with bipolar. She felt embarrassed and ashamed because there is a horrible stigma out in the world about mental illness. Some people don’t believe you can’t control it. I had to be strong for her so I decided to talk about my depression and anxiety on Facebook. I’ve had many people reach out and tell me they feel the same. My daughter now talks about her bipolar and takes part in different groups. More people need to talk about mental illnesses and you should never feel ashamed..." as told by @Terrigetscrafty
