“Dealing with mental health can be lonely and scary and unfortunately there is still so much stigma around mental health which makes getting help even more difficult.
That's why I want you to know that you have nothing to be ashamed of. Accepting help and treatment doesn't make you weak, it makes you strong and brave.
Visit the resources I have listed for you below. It may feel scary and intimidating at first, especially if you have never done it before. But prioritizing your health is of utmost value.
You are important and you deserve to feel loved and happy.
You are not alone.”
― Elicia Roper, All That You Are: a heartwarming and emotional novel

“I wonder now if I've ever felt it, desire I mean, as in properly felt it, a desire of my own, and nothing to do with what I thought men demanded, what I believed I should perform, beyond sensations unfurling inadvertently in response to a stimulus. Where is the origin of my longing, what is it I want? Have I ever known?”
― Jamie Hood, Trauma Plot: A Life

“If only you could make out what it is inside you that draws these men your way—you believe you could really change, you could remake yourself in a safer image. Never seeing, as I wish you'd see, that there was nothing you did, nothing in you that earned it, that the knot was not yours for the unraveling because its origin exceeded you, it was in the rope being looped around your throat.”
― Jamie Hood, Trauma Plot: A Life
