Bethany's Story
Trigger warning - discussion of self-harm I’ve struggled with depression for a long time, and I want to share part of my story in the hope it helps someone else feel less alone.

Casey's Story
Trigger warning: Discussion of sexual assault and suicide. Hi, my name is Casey, and I’d like to share a part of my story.

Claire's Story
I’d like to share part of my story not every detail, but the parts that shaped me, in the hope that someone else might feel less alone.

Anonymous Story
I don’t really know how it started, but I slipped into a depression. Maybe I was overwhelmed. Maybe I was tired of everything and everyone. I just wanted to hide. I stopped going out and spent most of my time alone in my room, painting. Painting became my world. My easel felt like the only stable thing in my life. I poured so much of myself into it that it almost felt alive. Looking back, I think it became both a comfort and a reminder of how much I was struggling. When I sta

Alex's Story: A Journey Through Addiction and Recovery
The Struggle with Substance Use For a long time, alcohol and drugs were how I survived. That’s the simplest way I can put it. They helped me numb feelings I didn’t want to experience and quiet thoughts I didn’t know how to live with. What started as relief slowly became something else. It became heavier, taking more than it gave. By the time I reached my late thirties, I was tired in a way that sleep couldn’t fix. I’d tried to stop before. I’d promised myself I would. Sometim
