Uncomfortable Conversations ~ PTSD

Uncomfortable Conversations ~ PTSD

Why is it that we can shout to the whole wide world about topics such as Sports, Music, and Movies but when it comes to Mental Health we are reduced to an insecure whisper?

Not anymore - I refuse to keep topics like Mental Health, Anxiety, PTSD, and other topics such as these a stigma, a mere whisper or swept under the rug because we are uncomfortable.

So let us get uncomfortable together shall we and talk about PTSD.
