  • "My first introduction to mental illness was when I was young and a family member was diagnosed. I became familiar with things like counseling, medication, and addiction. A few years later it happened again. At 15, I began hearing things about depression and bipolar disorder. My family was not equipped to handle it well. Stigma surrounded the issue when I was growing up. A few years later, I was in college. Things began to change for me, too. I found myself spending hours and days at a time in complete isolation. I started feeling terrified of talking to someone about how I was feeling, or what I was going through. I had an overwhelming feeling of being different. I was an alien. I was alone. No one could possibly understand. I couldn’t have people thinking I was as strange as I felt. I was afraid to talk to people. What if something I said gave me away?"

  • **Painting & poem by the same title, Promise of Her Eyes, by Anna Ayres. Thank you, Anna, for inspiring us and sharing your gifts! 🌟** Who is this girl with darkness in her eyes? She is surrounded by color, Yet all she sees is black. Her eyes seem dark and lifeless. How sad, A life without color. She is able to feel raindrops on her skin But is unable to see the beauty of a rainbow. This life is all she has ever known, But she knows that one day that will change. She smiles. She knows that although right now she lives a colorless life, One day, when it comes to the end, She will be greeted with love, light, and Hope.
