I’ll be there …
When the world feels dark and heavy.
When the world feels alone and scary.
When the days feel long and the nights feel longer.
When the voices in your head are as loud as thunder.
When the world is too bright and hurts your eyes.
I’ll sit with you in the dark and be your guide.
For the world outside and the world in our head
Can be unbearable places, we want gone instead.
But it can get better and it can be ok.
We can make the worlds bearable a little more each day.
So, I’ll be there, for whatever you need.
I’ll be there, you can depend on me.
I am definitely no stranger when it comes to mental health, having my own battles with depression and anxiety prior to having children and then quite a serve case of postnatal depression and anxiety after my second child. It can be a scary and confusing time but there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
Mental health doesn’t discriminate if can happen to anyone and there is no shame in it.
If you are needing some help, please speak with someone; a family member, a friend, a health
professional or Life Line on 13 11 14.
You are not alone. You are worthy. You are loved. You are enough.
Last year I completed 60kms for the One Foot Forward Campaign run by the Black Dog Institute and this year I am doing it again but have increased my walking goal to 80kms. If you would like to donate to this very worthy cause please click the link below to take you to my fundraising page. Any dotation no matter how big or small helps.
I will be continuing to have stalls at some of the local markets; so be sure to keep an eye on my socials to find out when and where so you can come down and say hi, I’d love to have a chat. Or you can find me on Facebook and Instagram @Samantha_Lee_Prints or check out my brand new website at Samantha Lee Prints samanthaleeprints.com
