Michaela Jacobsen is 20 years old and has chosen the brave and vulnerable choice to share her story. Michaela has always been seen with a smile on her face and a life that rather perceived pure happiness. She is the first one to say and admit that what you see on the outside is not always the case on the inside. Michaela has several things to be proud of and be happy about in her life, but in her story she explains the hardships she also encountered. She found herself in a deep depressive state contemplating and creating a plan to take her own life. Every night for two months she talked about her constant thoughts and desires to take her own life. On top of all of her suicidal thoughts, she was also trying to manage her ADHD and severe anxiety. It’s never easy being someone who struggles with mental health and Michaela also describes the role that University has played in some of her struggles. Sharing her story was not an easy task for her but she has proven that she is brave, strong, and beyond inspiring with aspirations of helping others. Thank you Michaela and I encourage everyone to take a page out her book and speak up about your mental health struggles because you are not alone!
