Tales of a Darkened Mind 

This book is a journey through my mind. Things I have dealt with under the surface and what I have shown to people around me while I dealt with torments that are difficult to describe. I found all of these personified beings and places as I started my own personal journey of self discovery, self acceptance, and teaching myself that it is ok to get help. Sharing my story was ride full of ups and downs, fear and excitement riddled through me as listened to a voice telling me to share and why I should. I am still working on bettering myself, but I found that I wanted others to know that starting this was going to be hard but doable. If you are feeling alone, and like no one understands, if you can’t tell people what is going on behind closed doors, I hope this book finds you. I hope this book finds you when you need it most, when the dark thoughts become too much, and you feel that you can’t go on. Gain the knowledge that you can find peace within yourself, that you are not alone, that we hear you, and you can ask for help.
