I'm a mom of 4, living in smalltown, Alberta. I'm sharing my every day struggles in hopes of letting others know they're not alone. Behind the masks, the struggles are real, and the stigma is strong - but not as strong as I am. I may be small on the outside, but inside I'm 7" tall! This needs to be heard - it's not going away. Stop the stigma. Reach out. Get help.

Who Knew?

It’s been 4 months and 4 days since my daughter was taken by ambulance to the children’s hospital after leaving a “suicide note” in a text.  Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined going through all of this – especially with my sweet girlie.  This is the stuff you hear about in movies, or with other people.  You know – you see a picture of what looks like a “normal” child, and everyone says, “how sad”, or a host of other things.

There are plenty of books out there on mental health.  Endless amount of positive slogans, self help books, books on disorders, issues…..and on it goes. No where have I ever read or learned to identify, “what do I do if…….?”.  Perhaps by me sharing my experiences with mental health, the system, the issues, the signs and symptoms someone else will know what to do before it’s too late.
