Do you ever feel like you need someone to talk to?

This isn't an infomercial where you have all these questions and you think, "Yes, Yes, oh my gosh, YES!" but then again, maybe it is. And that my friend is OKAY.

Have you ever felt like you were a burden and life was just not going your way?

I get it, because at times, same.

What are some other resources available?

Take a look at what WA State Health Care Authority has to offer.

Are we equipped in handling all things, life?

No, I really don't believe we are. Which is why it makes it so important to reach out. We all have different life experiences to share and grow from. Why should Mental Health be left out?

The older we get; I think the more open we become.

I am aware of the change that has been happening in our society of people being more open about what's going on in their brain, and I hope that keeps momentum.

Give yourself a soul hug.

We got this ok? Or how about another personal tidbit to make you smile. The back of my car has a sticker that is supposed to say, "You Got This," but weather has worn 'er down and she now says, "You Go His." So with that being said.
