Today marks the first morning home after after seeking clinical treatment for my depression & anxiety. When I started the process two weeks ago I was filled with fear, hopelessness and weakness. This morning I see my decision as the ultimate act of bravery, courage and self love

While I am far from recovered, I am on the right track and acknowledge that finding my personal utopia is a process & not an event. I have no affirmations to pronounce nor magical pills to promote. All I can say is that there is help no matter how hopeless and destitute you feel

I can also use the platform that I have to assist in destigmatizing mental health illness and promote the efforts of @TheSADAG who remain selfless in providing mental health resources to all who need it. Lets continue to raise awareness during this #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

Let's remind each and everyone that's its ok to not be ok. And let's also check on and support those we know who are vulnerable but also those we think to be strong as this affliction does not discriminate among race, religion, wealth or creed. Love & Light to you all

And finally to my friend and colleague @RonakGopaldas for sharing this with me. It played such an important role in the decision to stand up and speak up. For all the men out there with mental health challenges, acceptance is an act of strength
