I've battled PPD (post partum depression) for 14 yrs as well as anxiety & PTSD from a mva for 2 yrs.
I've seen (& continue to see) unimaginable thoughts in my head. I understand first hand the fear that comes w/that.
Need to talk w/o judgement? I'm here for you ❤
#BellLetsTalk
Sometimes mental wellness means finding peace, quiet and reflection. And sometimes it means finding support and comradery. We know a little something about that, and we're proud to support #BellLetsTalk
Today is #BellLetsTalk Day!! For every tweet/retweet using #BellLetsTalk or view of the official Bell Let’s Talk Day video, Bell will donate 5¢ to Canadian mental health initiatives!
Someone you know is quietly suffering from pain they can’t describe. A weight or a fog they can’t lift.
I’ve suffered from depression and it was debilitating. Friends helped.
Today reach out. Listen. Care. Offer help.
Let’s start there.
Today, every RT matters.

#BellLetsTalk
I'm a husband. A father. A son. A brother. An uncle. A friend. A survivor.
21 years ago, I attempted suicide. I have battled depression and anxiety ever since. But I never faced the battle alone, & neither should you.
Reach out. Talk. You're not on your own.
#BellLetsTalk
Today, we stand with every individual who is fighting an inner battle with mental illness. It is important to break the silence, reach out and start the conversation. Not just today, but everyday. We all have strength to support each other and carry through. #BellLetsTalk#yeg
I always find #BellLetsTalk day to be bittersweet. I love all the support and encouragement but sometimes people try to out-sell each other on mental health issues. "You have depression? I have depression AND anxiety!" It's not a competition. Please be respectful.
A lot of our police officers go above and beyond the call of duty by volunteering in the communities they serve. If you think there is an officer who deserves to be recognized for this, nominate them for the Top Cop Award. More details here: https://t.co/VWGgUX8KRE #yeg
