In my last years of mental health journey, I have discovered the enormous power or vulnerability but at the same time, how difficult it can be!

I didn’t open up about my mental health struggles to anyone for years, no one knew the things that I was experiencing until I was in my late teen years.

Little by little I was able to open up to friends and almost 10 years after having the first panic attack I opened up to my family. 

Was it easy? NO! I was shaking, and crying, the words wouldn’t come out of my mouth! but it was time, I needed to do it for myself!

After that day, my life has never been the same! good things happened with opening up, my family is incredibly supportive, I made many new connections who experience some of the same situations that I do, but I also lost friends, people who for some reason decided to part ways and not be in this journey, at the beginning I resent them, I felt guilty, felt that they left me because of my challenges, but now I know that it was simply my moment say goodbye to what was not needed anymore.

Being vulnerable helped me to start therapy and tell my therapist things I’ve never said to anyone.

Being vulnerable helped me to understand that my thoughts and worries were OKAY and I shouldn’t be ashamed of them. 

So I invite you to be vulnerable, is fine to show your emotions, is fine to cry, is okay to laugh out loud! 

BE VULNERABLE

BE REAL!
