"Dear 1 in 5,
You are not broken. It may seem that way at first, but I promise you aren't.
I felt broken, too. I felt like I didn't deserve to be a mother. I felt like a failure for needing medication to survive. I felt like my body and brain were failing me. Like they were broken. I felt ashamed. I felt alone. I still do sometimes.
But I've learned to take it day by day. I've started truly believing that I'm not broken — that I'm a work in progress. That I'm taking care of my body, mind and soul by taking medication.
You may be bruised, bent, bleeding, barely surviving. But you are not broken. You are not alone. We are 1 in 5."
