Breaking The Invisible Chains

Your arms are warm and they make me feel as if they're made of cold, cold steel.

And isn't that like if you put your mental health cap on, sometimes I look back on my journey and go, yes, these arms of depression or these arms of PTSD, it's sort of what I knew at the time and I had given that power.

And that's not necessarily the case anymore.

A little click and I can't lift my arms or move my hands.

And isn't that so incredible to think when we look at it from mental health is because it is so debilitating.

It is crippling and we can't actually do anything at that moment.

I'm in chains and I really don't think it needs any explanation.

Like these invisible chains of PTSD and depression and anxiety or whatever other mental health injury you have, they are invisible chains and they hold us down and we need to do what we can to break through of those chains.

those chains and how mental illness can hold us back because of those invisible chains.

But I also just want to say in here, boy, golly gosh, can that woman sing.

She is incredible.

But I think it's important to firstly recognize that, yes, we have invisible chains as a result of our diagnosis or not necessarily as a diagnosis.

Everybody's life looks different.

But for me, it was my diagnosis.

But I think it's very important and much more important to realize and understand that we need to recognize the hold that these chains have on us.

and also recognize when those chains are starting to loosen.
