Stigmatism in Twenty Twenty

I know I will never be on the New York Times Best Seller list and that's okay. I write to help me heal and healing is all I care about. I'm to the point right now that if I think the beads, crystal or oil is going to help me heal in some way then you can bet your bottom dollar that I am going to try it. Most days the physical pain outweighs the mental pain and as crazy as it sounds I am thankful for that. Physical pain makes me know I'm alive. Mental pain can take you so far deep that you want you don't have the strength. Period.

It's almost 2020 and the stigma that is still around mental health is pathetic.  Honestly, there are so many terrible diseases in the world that can be cured or put in remission,  but depression and anxiety is something that will never go away. No, I'm not comparing anxiety and depression to cancer. All I am saying is that one can be cured and the other one can not.

I get that my opinion can be an unpopular one. I also get that we all don't have to think alike. Thank goodness, because some of y'all be crazy. Like legit 😳. What I am thankful for is to live in a country,  that although they are not quick to acknowledge anxiety and depression as real diseases, they do provide medicine and other alternatives to help.
