'If we're able to just help one person feel less alone, one person feel less suicidal, one person to be able to put words and define what they're feeling, then it's 100 percent worth it.' — elyse__fox the founder of SadGirlsClubirl
Elyse Fox has struggled with her mental health since she was a child."Growing up, I didn't have the language to put a label or define what I was experiencing," Fox told POPSUGAR."It wasn't until I was about 25 years old — I had my first suicide attempt after being in a really abusive relationship, and I was living in Los Angeles away from my home and support system in New York City — that I ever heard words like 'depressed.
That was the turning point that launched Fox's current career into motion."From then on, I wanted to tell my friends and family, like, 'This is what I'm experiencing,'" she said."But there's such a stigma, especially in Caribbean households, with speaking about your mental health," she said.
"I started doing my makeup at home, having absolutely nowhere to go, and only my son and I see it. But to me, it makes me feel good."
