Lately I've been feeling like I am a military wife, except the only war my husband is fighting is with his brain. With mental illnesses there is always a risk of death (suicide, overdose, etc.). The person with the mental illness wages war against their own mind. My husband is not home right now, so I guess you could say he's deployed.
Now, I'm not saying this to say that I know what military wives go through or that I'm belittling what military families go through. It's just that my husband is at war with himself right now so I can understand a millionth of what they go through.

This is my blog on mental illness. I have many friends and family members, including myself, that have dealt with mental illnesses in the past and the present. I felt that I needed an outlet to write my feelings and hopefully educate people on the truthfulness of mental illnesses and to decrease some of the stigma that is associated with mental illness. I am not an authority, nor do I have a degree. This is my personal feelings and experiences only.
