...and the truth is, it's hard not to use the word "almost", but a lot of people have gone through this, in one way or the other and are still going through this.
I'm however thankful for the unfathomable boldness enveloping us these days. 5y

ezinneogwumah Well, in the midst of our past or present silence, our traumas powerfully shape and affect us, because as popularly said, "we are all wired differently".
The point I'm trying to make is, speak your truth when you are ready to (as long as it feels right and in the best way you can) & as always you are not alone! YOU ARE BIGGER THAN YOUR TRAUMA 5y

Just turned 25 and it feels like i'm almost having a relapse.
I'm currently re-reading my book and relearning my beliefs and values.
Trying to stay strong #MentalHealthAwareness #Depression

Some days, I remind myself to never go back to the same things that broke me.
Today, I'm reminding myself to "reconstruct my walls with doorways requiring passes"
"Set up my guards - protect myself"

Pg. 115 from Self Apology by Ezinne Ogwumah.
