If you have found your way to this page rather I invited you or you were invited by someone else, I do feel that you were meant to be here. The purpose of this page/group is for us women to learn the importance of our mental health and self-care. This group will be a sisterhood of empowering women to be inspired, encourage, and building "us" up one day at a time. I created this page due to my own
personal experience in dealing with depression. Without God, my mother, and my sister's circle of friends I would not have made it. Through the storm of depression, God gave me the vision to start a women's group that catered to women and their mental health. As women we take on so much in our daily lives with being a mother, wife, having a career/job, being a caregiver, etc. Here not only will there be encouragement but I will give daily affirmations, and tips on self-care, tips on mental health, and much more!!!! MY STORY/TESTIMONY:
2018 was one of the roughest times for me, when the year started I didn't have a job, I just buried an uncle, my car was down, bank accounts in the negative w/ no money. My auntie had 2 heart attacks and a stroke, almost lost my car, my house, and everything that I worked so hard for, and on top of that, I lost 1 of my dearest, closest male best friends. I had the most amazing support system, my mom, the most amazing boyfriend a girl could ask for and of course my sister circle of friends, even w/ all that I still felt alone and in a dark place. One thing I know is DEPRESSION IS REAL!!! When u don't know how to deal w/ it or go get the help u do more damage to yourself. Here I am the strong one out of everyone, I'm the one that's there for everyone else, the one that everyone calls on, so I boggled my feelings and problems and put them on the back burner and say hey I'll deal w/ it later! I was so broken, hurt, angry, frustrated, and mean all w/ a smile on my face and giving encouraging words 2 someone else. I couldn't give or show love and affection b/c I didn't love nor like myself. I had got 2 a point 2 where I didn't feel I was worthy 2 live...so many times I woke up and be like DAMN I'm still here! I isolated myself in so many ways from people and especially ones who love and genuinely care for me. I was so unhappy and that caused others around me 2 be unhappy! I didn't realize how much hurt, brokenness, and damaged and insecure I was! One day I woke up and I began 2 pray and cry out 2 God 2 help me, fix what is broken in me! It took much prayer, journal writing, and self-care to get my mental health intact. I Thank God that I'm in a much better place, I lost myself and I'm thankful for being me again! I said all that 2 say that mental health is real and very important as well as necessary.
