Reality check - The pain behind a smile or a photo...

Honest and open post from me.

This is my first post in such a loooong time... the truth is I have been struggling with my mental health. and rather than talk about it, I opted to stay silent, to go offline or simply ignore things... 

It's just how I deal with things I guess.

Anyhow, this is just an update to say that I am still here, still battling and starting to feel a little more like a normal person once again.

What I can tell you, is it isn't much fun in most of the dark places i've been to, with those dark thoughts and feelings. Especially when feeling alone and isolated at the same time.

That said, to go there, survive it and return to tell the story means a lot. Especially to other people that are currently struggling in silence and reading this post. 

If that's you, then my inbox is ALWAYS open!!

With that said, I am hoping to get back to being more social, to get back online and to get back to what I once loved...

I know it will be an uphill battle for me to get there, but I am getting better every day and still fighting - wishing you peace and love and thank you for reading.
