Happy #Friday!!! If you've been following my #Twitter you know how dreadful transitioning off meds has been for me this spring/summer, both physically, mentally and emotionally. I've never experienced anything like it and to be honest wasn't expecting it would be so long and so hard and affect so many other aspects of my life. Something I wish I was informed about when they were prescribed...but that's another story. Thank you to everyone who supported me (friends, fam, Twitter followers and others). I promise this book thing will happen, hang in there with me! 📸 by @desireethomas.ca #mentalhealth #mentalillness #mentalhealthbooks #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthblogger #blackauthors #authorsofig #authorsofinstagram #indieauthors #depression #anxiety #mentalillnessawarenessweek

Again and again I learn this lesson, your #mentalhealth has to come first. It's been a super challenging past 5 months, culminating in a difficult last couple of months! And let me tell you trying to maintain my mental health deal with career issues, life aspirations, family and friends etc. AND this book thing is harder than I would have imagined. But I'm still here trucking along! More updates to come! #mentalhealthbooks #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthblogger #blackauthors #authorsofig #authorsofinstagram #indieauthors #depression #anxiety #ocd #worldmentalhealthday #mentalillnessawarenessweek

This is #backtoschool -ish right? On a bus, jean dress, scarf and tights? 🤔 #School was always fuel for my #mentalillness. Trying to be perfect, while chaos was happening in other aspects of my life. As an adult I can say, grades aren't everything, heck, its not even always the book smarts that get people to the top (most cases it's not). Perfect grades does not equal happiness. My one piece of advice for those heading back is make sure you have mutha f-ing BALANCE. Enjoy life. Exercise. Go out. Play sports. Yes, #study hard and aim for those As but don't kill yourself over them. You'll probably end up doing pretty well anyway! #mentalhealth #mentalillness #anxiety #depression #ocd #September #September2019 #fall

The first time I realized suicidal thoughts weren’t normal

I’ll never forget this memory. I was 18 years-old and it was the year I took off after high school before going away to university. I mean I knew something was wrong at the time and that I was more than just sad and needed help. I was with a happy-go-lucky guy at the time […]
