"There is power in revealing the fullness of our lives." Wow -- basic truth, repeated in literature and love and life for the last thousand years. Clearly, it is part of the human experience, as every generation and every single individual has to learn it and relearn it during the course of what we in the West laughingly refer to as "maturity." Is anxiety immature? Does maturity bring les anxiety? Keep writing -- it's important and you are good at it.
Thank you for putting this out there Lauren. I'd never experienced a & d until last year. It was overwhelming and debilitating. I also found that upon sharing, my friends were very supportive and most had also had experience of this in their lifetime. Now, mental heslth is a common topic of conversation amongst our group. I was scared to tell my employer at the time but they were amazing and glad to say I'm back firing on all cylinders. Now i feel stronger than ever and have the tools at my disposal to note when my mood is dropping and what to do to prevent another spiral. Talking is so important, as is self-care. It've learned that its ok to sometimes put yourself first. Another great piece of writing; cheers Lauren and wishing you all the very best xxx
