Where do I start??

Trying2bdifferent profile image

I don't know where to start or how to tell people my story. I've spent years trying to forget everything and sharing seems so wrong and vulnerable. I'm at a point in my journey where I'm feeling angry and ashamed. While I'm sure my experiences are not unheard of, I haven't exactly reached a place where I don't feel at least partially at fault. I suffer from anxiety, depression, OCD and PTSD. Im still trying to wrap my head around the diagnosis.

I remember when I was diagnosed bipolar, it took some time to accept it. That day will come for you. Trust and be patient with the medication.

If you're willing, you can try sharing the bits and pieces of your story that you're comfortable sharing. Do it online, phone, text, face to face, whatever you feel more comfortable with (though I don't trust sharing things online). Don't push yourself too hard to share everything at once. Baby steps.
