My Mental Health Hero
𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐈'𝐦 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮
Even if we're breaking down
We can find a way to break through
Even if we can't find Heaven
I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find Heaven
I'm gonna stand by you
- Rachel Platten
May is Mental Health Month and I want to celebrate those who fight the good fight every day. We know that people fighting cancer are warriors but question the valiant nature of those fighting anxiety or depression.
This is my warrior.
My mental health hero
Here he is 20 years ago, straight out of Boot, where the only enemies sat across oceans. Now he is home safe but battles unseen enemies daily.
Mental Health Requires Courage
Always the airman, he doesn’t give up. And it is hard work and it requires courage; courage equal to danger on a battlefield.
Cheer on these warriors as you would if the word tumor were involved. Mental illness is not a moral issue, it is in the name — “illness”, so let’s support their path to health.
