Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

I have been having coping with severe chronic pain for months now. Physical, mental and emotional hurts combined produce a psychological storm that is very difficult for me to deal with . I find it difficult to think when I am not sleeping well and fighting an intense battle with all three of those distractions.
I am interested in reviewing and encouraging others to write. Now that I have some degree of control over the pain I feel better about communicating here. I hope to be a better communicator.
I am learning and being patient with myself. By being active as a reviewer, I am encouraged and inspired to write more. When I feel competent and confident, I can share my ideas and feelings and I find it very difficult to do so when I am not.
