It is ALWAYS ok not to be ok, but it is often hard to be so honest. Xx

Took me a while to articulate that though.

Oh Denise, you are so brave to write this, it must have been so difficult for you to put it to paper feeling the way that you were. I feel for you and the frustrations that you must have felt. My husband suffers with mental health and other medical issues so I see first hand how it affects people. I’m pleased that you are slowly finding the help that you need and that you have a friend that is there for you when you need space. I’m glad that you wrote this blog because it puts things into perspective for others, and I totally agree that it is ok to not be ok.

Thank you. I was wary writing this as I wasn’t sure what people would think.
