The Art of Being an Artist: Thunderstorms at Juno Beach
artistsusig.blogspot.com
Mental Illness can be like a storm. One that creeps up on you or can be felt coming on for awhile. Either way it is a storm that smashes you against rocks, buries you in ten feet of snow, dumps torrential rain on your head or sucks you into a tornado.
For ones that do not experience storms of emotions like that are incapable of knowing what it's like to be in the eye of it. They want to know, they even have extreme empathy...
But they cannot know what it is like.
We do.
Our loved ones, our supporters - love us and care deeply for us. Unfortunately, and at great disappointment for themselves, they cannot relate.
Allow me to correct myself...
Mental Illness IS a storm.
