As someone with mental health disability issues, I appreciated the nod to those of us who struggle in darkness. I also walk with a cane, which of course is visible. I'm tired of being both visible and invisible. Thanks for the flag information. Necessary!
Thank you for reading. I have also struggled in the darkness for most of my life, as well as having heart health issues. But none of it is visible, except for the brief period when I needed portable oxygen. Both visible and invisible. Fly your flag for all to see and be encouraged!
