Everyone feels depressed, angry or frustrated at times; it’s a crossroads not a dead end.

Utter frustration often precedes the breakthrough so stick with it and have faith in your journey.

Depressed states can make us feel like we're constantly fighting against ourselves but we must engage in that fight for ourselves.

When people seem angry, sometimes they are simply upset and hurting. Asking the right questions helps them to work through it.

MINDS ARE UNIQUE. They go wrong in unique ways. My mind went wrong in a slightly different way to how other minds go wrong. Our experience overlaps with other people's, but it is never exactly the same experience.

In my community, mental health isn't taken seriously enough. Therapy is replaced by prayer. Tears are a sign of weakness. When you are different, you are told to change. And really, what does that do? It isolates desperate, vulnerable people and creates victims.
