      Letters of May – Anthology 2017 - Julie Alcin

      "I am not a sick person, I am someone managing an illness. This illness doesn't define me. It is not who I am.

      I am not a problem just waiting to be fixed. I am not an attention seeker. I deserve to be loved and heard, like everyone else.

      I am human. I am beautiful. I am me"

      -The Mental Health Foundation of Sint Maarten for collaborating with me for the Letters of May Art Workshop

      -Allysa Hart for donating such an amazing cover

      -Stacey and Ameenah for helping proofread the anthology

      And to everyone who submitted

      You are truly amazing, and I appreciate all of you

      ABOUT Escaping The Vault:

      Launched in 2016, Escaping The Vault is a community for people with mood disorders to express themselves and those who are interested in art and psychology.

      My mission is to:

      Educate people about mood disorders.

      Inspire people to become stronger.

      Encourage people not to give up.

      Change the mind-set of people who take mood disorders as a joke.

      MOTTOS:

      Don't choose suicide. Choose art therapy

      Suffering isn't comedy. There’s nothing funny about dying inside out

      Even the moon glows beautifully in the pitch black darkness. We're all moons here

      SUBMISSIONS:

      Are you interested in sharing your artwork, short stories, poems and short videos/ animation. Read the Submission Guidelines.

      If you are a blogger or writer interested in the subject of psychology (the mind, mood disorders & etc.) & would love to raise awareness of how serious mood disorders are and help prevent suicide, please take a look at the Bloggers Support Week page.

      https://www.facebook.com/EscapingTheVault/

      Letters of May is a part of Escaping the Vault, divided into two: Letters of May Anthology & Letters of May – The Movement. While Letters of May Anthology consists only of writing & art, Letters of May – The Movement consists of writing, art, videos, songs and beyond anything people can come up with to raise awareness for mental health.

      The goal of Letters of May is to give hope, show how it feels to live with a mental illness and educate all in a form of a letter. Not only will this be an anthology, it will be a website where people can submit their works & help spread the awareness.

      To submit your work, simply contact Escaping The Vault on Facebook or the email you received during the Introduction to Letters of May.
