2017 NYE Request

For Those Who Struggle With Mental Illness:

I know that 2017 has not been easy for you. I know you have struggled with your mind, work and relationships with others. So I will not ask much of you. All I ask for this New Year’s Eve, is to put your hand over your heart when you think of bad memories. Do you feel your heartbeat? I know you do. Look at the resilience you built in 2017. You know what else? You will make it through 2018 too.

Yours Truly,

-A person who struggles with bipolar disorder
–And tried to die by suicide in August 2017
—I am still here and so are you—
