Courage-Hope-Strength

Live Life for YOU. No one else. You are worth it.

This blog is committed to posting only positive, uplifting, inspiring images. My goal is to promote self love, confidence, and hope for those who are struggling with something…from depression to eating disorders, and everything in between. I have been there.

I have dealt with clinical depression, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, ED-NOS, self injury, and was suicidal many times. I also struggled (and still do, at times) with poor body image.

After a LOT of hard times and an even harder fight, I can honestly say that I am now in recovery.

There IS hope for happiness and health. Don’t give up. I am here if anyone ever needs to talk.

You are ALL beautiful.

This is dedicated to all of you.

I spoke last night at a candlelight vigil to bring awareness to suicide prevention and to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. I was so nervous, but it was worth it. Please share, and please don’t EVER give up. ♥♥♥

It is National Suicide Prevention Week.

Take a moment to learn about suicide risk factors & warning signs.

If anyone is struggling with thoughts of suicide, PLEASE reach out for help. You can always talk to me, but please talk to SOMEONE. Or call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-TALK (8255), available 24/7, free, and confidential. You are not alone.

I’m recovering because…

Someone dies every minute. Someone dies every 18 minutes from suicide. Reblog this if you CARE and are willing to be there for anyone and everyone at anytime to talk to or to help.

Always here for anyone who needs to talk. I’ve been there. ♥
