I pledge my commitment to the Blog For Mental Health 2013 Project.  I will blog about mental health topics not only for myself, but for others.  By displaying this badge, I show my pride, dedication, and acceptance for mental health.  I use this to promote mental health education in the struggle to erase stigma.

I want to thank everyone who participated in the Blog For Mental Health 2013 project so much.  Reading each of your posts was incredibly inspiring, and seeing how many people participated, even late in to the year, was very gratifying.  The numbers were fantastic, and it honestly thrills me to see more and more individuals speaking up and sharing their experiences with mental illness.  There was not only strength on display, but grace and a quiet dignity woven throughout the threads of all of the pieces.  It makes me quite proud, and strengthens the hope I have that one day soon, anyone with a mental illness will be able to speak about it openly — free from the fear of being stigmatized and misunderstood.

Keep on fighting the good fight.

Ruby
