あらすじ・解説
So, I started seeing a psychologist again this week and as scary as it was to open up and be uncomfortable, I am so grateful I am in a position to be able to receive this support.
I wanted to share some feelings and thoughts I had about this new journey I am on as I know how many emotions can come about when you finally seek help for an often-silent battle you have been going through. Trust me, it is worth it.
You do not need to wait for your mental health to “get as bad as others” or to reach your breaking point.
I also reflect on the reality of tying your identity to external circumstances such as a job or the expectations others have of you.
It’s scary sometimes to be your true authentic self, but do you want to be reflecting on your life wishing you stopped living by expectations and standards placed on you by others? Of course you don’t.
TW – in today’s episode I talk about mental illness and identity loss which may be triggering for some. I have linked some great resources below which can offer support if you find yourself needing to speak to someone.
