She’s not hiding anymore. She’s taking a stand, making some changes and speaking up about it. She’s showing other people that they can do the same.
For years she suffered from depression and bipolar disorder. She hid it, downplayed it, pretended it wasn’t a real problem, and believed life couldn’t be any different. Until one day, she finally had enough and decided to fight back against her mental demons. She’s started treatment and she’s loudly announcing it to the world. She’s not ashamed to have suffered. She’s not ashamed to be getting better either. Her fear and shame have already been left in the dust of the past. She’s marching down a new road that leads to serenity. She’s walking in courage with her head held high. Her example invites all the rest of us to come along with her.
Her sister is watching with awe and delight. She’s so proud of her sister! It’s a wonderful thing to watch her take control of her own destiny and inspire others to do the same.
Their Stone
Lepidolite radiates a powerful energy to inspire radical transformation. It teaches us to stand up for ourselves and to do the right thing, even when it’s very hard. It motivates us to take personal responsibility for our own life and happiness. It refuses to let us hide from the truth or vainly hope for change without taking proper action. Lepidolite lights the way to freedom. It shows us how to make the necessary changes and gives us patience when the journey is long. It releases us from the chains of the past and shows that what was, isn’t what must be. Lepidolite encourages us to look at ourselves objectively and to identify the habits and stressors that make life unnecessarily difficult. It helps us to form new habits and inspires beautiful new ways of being. It cheers us on every step of the road. It celebrates with us whenever we are good to ourselves and show others the way. Metaphysical healers consider Lepidolite to be one of the very best stones for anything related to mental health issues, particularly for bipolar disorder and depression.

Lepidolite is a gorgeous purple muscovite. It sparkles with mica and is an ore for lithium. Just like lithium is used in anxiety medication, Lepidolite is a go-to stone on days when we feel a little anxious and need some crystal support. It reminds us that we are more capable than we give ourselves credit. It helps us to take charge of our own life, rather than to allow other people to dictate our thoughts and emotions. If it is our own brain that seems to be working against us, Lepidolite will speak to our heart and urge us to wrestle back control. Lepidolite promises that life can get better and that laughter is one of best medicines that will get us there. […]
