“I see the light now that I couldn’t see before” Mark Allen

To Mark Allen, from all of us at JustMental, we’re thinking of you.

To walk out of a clinic after ten weeks, stand up in front of a home crowd in Belfast and be that honest about where you are takes a courage most people will never understand. You didn’t have to say any of it. You did, and in doing so you’ve shown every man and woman watching that it’s okay to not be okay.

“I see the light now that I couldn’t see before.” We’re so glad you can, Mark. Take all the time you need. Your recovery is the only result that matters now, and you have a whole community in your corner, no pressure, no expectations, just people wishing you well.

This is not wellness. This is war against stigma, and tonight you did more for that fight than any of us.

With you, every step. 💜
