Did you know May is Mental Health Awareness Month? Today we are honoring someone that has used her platform to help end the stigma around struggles with mental health. Suzy Favor Hamilton, former Olympian, has had first hand experience with mental health tribulations. She was wrongfully diagnosed with depression, leading her to being prescribed medication that made her not herself, resulting in her becoming one of the top escorts in Las Vegas. Eventually, she was correctly diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Upon this correct diagnosis, she was able to begin the healing process. She is now a motivational speaker - as she finds sharing her story liberating. Above all, she hopes to end the shame and stigma associated with mental health struggles and to inspire others to share their story. Suzy, we are so inspired by you and your vulnerability! Thank you. . . . . . . #dailyherstory #feminism #women #womenempowerment #femme #girlpower #womeninsports #professionalwomen #inspiringwomen #truestory #womensupportingwomen #empowerment #empower #huffpostwomen #equalrights #equality #womensmarch #becauseofthem #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mental #mentalhealthmonth #mentalhealthquotes #suzyfavorhamilton #olympics #olympian
