No More Closed Doors #mystory #mytestimony

by Christina Nance

"Just like an addict keeping track of their sober days, I too keep track of mine...I am a survivor, a suicide survivor." Growing up we did not speak on or acknowledge any type of Mental Illness. We were raised on the sayings: "what goes on in my house, stays in my house" or "ain't nothing wrong with you child, let us pray over you." I believe it is time to break this cycle and bring awareness to my community, the black community and for us to stop hiding behind closed doors.
