stay strong

December 13, 2019

I found Zox after looking on the internet for inspirational and meaningful accessories. I wanted something to remind myself to stay strong and to fight the daily self harm urges and suicidal thoughts that I have. Up until 2 years ago, I managed to keep my struggle with my mental health fairly secret for over 10 years. Then things started to come out, I confided in my best friend who is amazing. She has been there for me throughout it all, more so during the last few years when I was sectioned for 7 months. Being in the hospital for the first time is terrifying, I only wish I had found Zox back then. It's been a year since my discharge, but I still struggle daily. I just keep telling myself, there are worse off people out there and I am quite fortunate to have what I have. I have ordered the "Stay Strong" Zox wristband so that I can wear it daily and when I am struggling, I hope looking at it will remind me of all the positive things in life and the people that are in it who care.
