"I feel like with the phrase 'suffering from mental illness' the actual word suffering gets downplayed a lot. So just think about the word by itself, consider it, let it rise and fall over your tongue. Feel the intensity and the sadness and the pain in that word. Your completely real suffering matters." - 2am thoughts
Hi! I'm so glad you've found me on 7 Cups of Tea! My name is Valerie and I would love to chat with you about whatever is going on in your life. Personally, I've had major manic psychotic depression, anxiety, an eating disorder, insomnia, school stresses, LGBTQ+ related struggles and family problems. I have been working on all of my issues, and have been finding it really rewarding to help others. Various friends of mine have also suffered from a lot of mental health issues, and I have loved having their support and giving mine in return.
