This is a safe space for discussing your mental health. Whereas general stress and issues are often discussed in Rants/Raves of the Dailies, this place is for a more focused discussion of the impact of mental health.  Members are encouraged to use thoughtfulness and depth to examine feelings, barriers, and useful supports. 

This post can be replied to at any time during the month. Not limited to those with a mental health diagnosis, but please be sensitive to others. We will attempt to be as flame-free as possible!

Mental Health Diagnosis (if you have been) or What brings you to this thread today?: no current diagnosis, used to have unspecified depression/dysphoria

Status (WTO/TWW/Benched/TTA): WTO

Where are you in your mental health journey? (in treatment, looking for support, on meds, in counseling, having a rough day, etc.): been seeing my therapist for 2 years, in the middle I was on low dose of lexapro but weaned off of it last fall.

How are you feeling? today feeling pretty neutral, looking forward to a weekend of rest. my clients had a lot of needs this week and I'm looking forward to actual restorative time off instead of mindless netflix bingeing (though I do enjoy a good binge mindfully every now and then!)
