Acknowledging the State of My Mental Health, or lackthereof 😐

in psychology •  7 years ago  (edited)

I'm not an expert, but I've been exploring vulnerabilty as a means of healing. It may have something to do with generosity: our vulnerability often gives value to those who experience it, and it may have something to do with empathy: we receive it only when we're honest enough to allow other people the opportunity to express it.

Either way, I think your willingness to open up to your partner, and your readers, can only serve to bolster the healing process.

Well done.

Thank you @layl 💓 Everyone here, commenting and offering their perspectives and experience has bolstered my spirits and inspired me to continue seeking an understanding of what I'm going through. I believe you're onto something with vulnerability - by being vulnerable, here and in my life, the empathy of others has been more healing than my solitary "powering through it" has ever been.
