I thought it might be nice to share positive stories pertaining to our mental health specifically.

I posted elsewhere thanks for the local mental health services that sent a counsellor to my home on a Sunday.

And last night I finally slept a decent sleep.

I have a great therapist that helps me every time I go to therapy.

not a mental health specialist per se, but she helped me massively.
after an attempted suicide I ended up in hospital from suffering a seizure, the nurse who treated me said the nicest things anyone has ever said to me which I still remember but will keep to myself!
She was around my age, mid-20's and my biggest regret was not asking her out. I know she would have said yes but I was just too nervous.

But I think of what she said every time I feel down and it helps a lot, which I'm hugely grateful for because I feel down often!

I start CBT tomorrow Yay!!

The wonderful therapy group I came to be in after moving 2100 miles from where I lived all my life. Not only helped me knock down walls, got me into the DBT group & when a crook installed a bad heat pump in my house..this mental health group had a special fund for emergencies like that because of the cold weather here. They paid for the new outside unit that I desperately needed.

Also my church family has done more for my mental health wellness. Being surrounded by people who truly live God's love daily in life makes such a difference from what I experienced all my life around dysfunctional people

I'm eternally grateful to all the mental health professionals who work at the Veterans Administration (VA).

I'm grateful for the counsellor who again came to my house
I'm grateful for starting CBT today
I'm grateful my new psychiatrist and I clicked today
I'm grateful for being invited to participate in a mental health conference on Friday
