Don't suffer in silence, don't isolate, you have to get out there. It is not shame to come out, it's not shame, it's not you don't feel guilty that you have the situation, because that's really what I'm trying to do is try to normalize the fact, even if you had an addiction or suicide thoughts or a mental illness, that's ok.
