Having open and meaningful conversations about your mental health doesnβt make you a weaker person. If anything, pretending that nothing is wrong and being told to keep it to yourself is unhealthy.
We have to continue to make strides to break the stigma.
@NFcommunityNF Being vulnerable is difficult. I'm glad you've shared. Please find help through medical intervention and a therapist who specializes in OCD. It can get better. I'll keep you in my thoughts.
@diannahaze @alexandrite113 Excellent letter. Every Dr my daughter has had eventually decides her illness is psychiatric related. Typically happens when they are tired of hearing the multitude of symptoms and the lack of improvement over time. She has brought in ME/CFS info and I'm sure it gets tossed.
