Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

Hi Gentillylace !

Welcome to the group and thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself!

Your current project sounds so interesting! I love when people mix genres and put their personal experience into their writing. I've always heard that you should 'write what you know' and I bet adding some of those personal touches brings your writing to life.

I'm so sorry to hear about your recent troubles with suicidal thoughts. I know how difficult each day is when you're experiencing that. I can imagine that being the caretaker for your mother has amplified those already existing issues quite a bit. What have you been doing in the interim to cope with those triggers?

I know what dysthymia and major depressive disorder are, but I'm not familiar with the symptoms of those mental health disorders together. If you don't mind sharing, what are some of the symptoms you've experienced with double depression? Are there time periods of relief from most of the symptoms, but never a full lifting of the depression?

Thanks again for introducing yourself. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better and learn from your experiences. Please let us know if you have any questions or need help with anything!

Best,

Charlie
