Nicole's Story:
It was in 2019 when I was at my lowest mentally and emotionally. I had been in pretty low points before then, but the weight of school, and not truly believing my life had value really took a toll on me. I wondered if my emotions and feelings were a burden to the people around me.
​
I am sure we can all relate in one way or another. Maybe some of us have been able to pull ourselves out of those dark mental spaces pretty easily, and then there are others, like myself, who did not know how to bounce back as quickly and needed extra support and help. Whether that be through hospitalization, therapy or medication.
​
Whatever your mental health journey is looking like for you, we all have a story. As a mental health therapist, advocate, writer and aspiring speaker I have found myself through out my career having the privilege of hearing people's stories in one way or another. If we could take the time to actually see each other's value than we can not only change the stigma surrounding various mental health topics but also empower our community to share their story and pursue their career goals and passions.
