You've all learned a lot about me in the last month or so, so it is now my turn to ask all of you a question. Why do you read my blog?
a) you know me
b) you can relate to dealing with mental health challenges (if you feel comfortable, please share what kind of challenges you face)
c) you read everybody's blog
d) other - please specify
Oh and if more than one applies, let me know that also. Thanks for participating.
All of the above. But mostly I read your blog and comment because it is my small way of helping you along on your journey. To see you tackling your challenges head on is inspiring. You are far braver than you imagine. To contribute (or imagine that it is so) just a little bit to you finding your way is its own reward. Watching you get there is strangely satisfying.
ReplyDeletea) and b) I think, Danielle...
ReplyDeleteA and B, and B is anxiety, depression's first cousin. And everything that Anonymous #1 said above is very true.
ReplyDeleteI guess D would apply first, as I hadn't read until I saw your Facebook post. After reading your most recent entries, A and B as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm on intimate terms with depression myself, and also agree with anon 1. Sharing your story the way you are is a brave thing, and I have a great deal of respect for your desire to help others around you while helping yourself.
A and B (which I would be happy to talk about in person), not at all C (I rarely ready any blogs), D) because it helps me think about my own journey, and to be helpful if I can.
