Mental Health sufferers need not continue on in silence

[Syllabus18]

People suffering with mental health issues first priority is that they need to be heard. Please continue to express yourself and your situations.

Agreed, it is so important to break one's own silence (it is actually called mourning - giving voice to our grief).

I kept silent for years and subsequently developed autoimmune illness and compromised brain function. It has taken years of prayer and counselling to get to where I am today and it has been worth the effort and the struggle,

Still there are areas where I am not as confident as I would like to be but I am trying to take an inventory of the things my journey has taught me instead of getting stuck on the circumstances or people that I cannot change.

The best advice I was ever given was to allow myself to marinate in the good experiences Life gives me because that enables my brain to be healthy in both structure and function.

Whilst I do agree with you I think you need to pick the situations where you would get support. I wouldn't tell all and sundry coz most will not understand or care.

I would also be clear what you want from the other person ie whether you want support or allowances to be made for you. if the latter I wouldn't count on too much of that! x
