I didn’t realize my depression and
anxiety could be linked to all that I’ve been seeing, hearing, and
experiencing in reference to all of the attacks on Black lives. At
first, and of course, my issues were born via personal situations. But
then I realized, starting from the Ferguson tragedy, my sleeping
problems became worse and I was more stressed out. Then it kept
happening, over and over again after the murders that followed suit. So
PERSONALLY, the various instances of racism and the effects of white
supremacy AND my various personal trials and tribulations that I have
faced in the past year are the cause of my pain.
So, if
you’re like me and didn’t think that racism/white supremacy can jump
start or aid in the mental health issues you’ve been facing, think
again.
Oh, and I also learned about what environmental racism is.
