Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

Hey Jaded La Morte ! Welcome to WDC and welcome to our group. I'm delighted to see you introducing yourself.

I'm sorry to hear that you had to leave your grad program. School is tremendously difficult on its own, let alone when you have mental health issues to go along with it. It's just a constant strain. I'm struggling through finishing my undergrad now and should be finished in December, but I spent a month inpatient at the end of last year and then spent 12 weeks in an intensive outpatient program.

I'm so happy to hear that your partial hospitalization program taught you about your mental health and taught you some new coping mechanisms. I found my intensive outpatient program to be much more helpful than any group or individual treatment I got (or have ever gotten) while inpatient.

It's good that you're taking some time to work on yourself and get some inner peace before you decide whether or not you want to finish your degree. Being kind to yourself is so important. I hope that you find the "Invalid Item"  to be helpful in kickstarting some more writing. If I had more time, I'd write a lot more, but I hope you find the challenges to be interesting.

You also don't have to wait until April 1st to start. You can jump in now and write some of the current tasks if you'd like. I tend to get into a habit of waiting for the "right" time to get started and I lose interest in the interim.

Best,

Charlie
