Why

People ask me all the time why I have this blog. Why I choose to share myself so openly in such a public way. The reason is, because not everyone can. My blog follows me through the ins and outs of being a mental health thriver. Through a life often shadowed by anxiety and depression. Not everyone can speak about how they're feeling for many reasons. Fear, shame, a general inability to vocalize what is happening in their minds.

No one should feel alone with their mental illness.

No one.

This is why I write, My Accidental Life. So that no one has to be alone.

I may never speak to some of my readers, they may not comment on my posts, I may never even know they were here, but if one of my posts helps one person, than every word I have written has been worth it.

I live my mental illness in the public eye to help end the stigmas attached to mental health disorders.
