The goal of Breakthrough With Tamera is to spread awareness about the Mental Health epidemic and provide insight, and understanding about the daily challenges individuals with mental health issues. It can be hard to get out of bed in the morning or feel motivated to interact with others. Quite often it feels as though a dark cloud is hovering over you. During the most painful times you just feel ALONE.The clinically depressed individual struggles daily to survive. Their mind is the worst enemy they have and they often trapped inside their thoughts. They make assumptions about their interactions, sometimes become paranoid and have difficulty decided what is true. They feel alone in their pain because they are convinced they are a burden to their family and friends. They have a couple of friends in whom they may confide, but unless you have experienced the deep-rooted sadness and helplessness no one can really understand the day to day and often moment to moment struggle of mental health disorders. For the most part sufferers of mental health conditions conceal the fact they suffer with clinical depression because society can be cruel and accusatory. The negative stigmas that surround mental illnesses encourage silence and seeking professional help is perceived to be a weakness."GIVING UP IS NEVER AN OPTION."
