Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

Oh Ruwth I feel you. I’m still so new to this group, but the reason I joined was for myself and myself only. I may be completely selfish in saying this, but I don’t feel the urge to write about my mental health for anyone’s benefit by my own. I’m doing this for me. I’m being honest with myself for me. I couldn’t care less what anyone else thinks of me or my issues because what I write is helping me. So in that sense, none of what I decide to share with this group necessarily needs to be public - I could keep it all private and it would help me just the same - but I choose to make it public in the off chance that what I say may help someone else. Being open with others helps me be open with myself as well.
