Holidays vs. mental health
This time of year is the worst for those who deal with any sort of mental health issue. Yes, the “most joyful" time of the year is actually the worst for some of us. If you're new, my name is Jillian and I battle depression and anxiety.
Meet me in my pain
Let's be real. When struggling with anxiety and depression, it isn't always full blown. Yes, some short or long periods of time it is. In those times of pain, people don't really know how to react.
