Life presents variables; learning how to cope in order to master, minimize, or tolerate what has come to pass.
Tragedy, Tribulations, and Finding Peace Within Myself . Content Warning.
Greetings, Vocal readers. Before I begin, I want to say thanks to the wonderful team on Vocal for selecting my story as on of the Top Stories of May. I'll have a link to that story down below if you would like to read it. For this story, I want to be open and honest about, and in detail, about my devastating lows and numerous suicide attempts. It's an uncomfortable topic to discuss, but I believe by being transparent about what I've gone through mentally, it might encourage someone to seek professional help. In my previous stories on Vocal, I've been frank about my mental health struggles. We should have difficult, yet necessary conversations about mental health. It will show that people are honest and genuine about their feelings. In fact, we should normalize being open about our struggles, not have it suppressed. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in February 2012, but had been experiencing those feelings since I was 19.

Seven Myths About Mental Illness
People living with mental illness experience stigma everywhere. We are often faced with stigma at home, in the workplace, at school, in hospitals and doctors offices, and in public settings. People living with mental illness struggle with discrimination in a world that is largely still unaccepting of mental illness diagnoses, even today.
