Bloggers Talk About Mental Health Support Group
Hello Fellow Bloggers,
I have been talking about my struggles with anxiety, depression and ,possibly, Bipolar Disorder Type II since I started this blog a year ago. I was never ashamed to put it out there. I mean, I’m lying. I was NO LONGER ashamed to put it out there. There was a lot of shame once.
There was also loneliness.
That is why I decided to start this Facebook group where we can all talk, support each other, vent, complain, share experiences and frustrations, all with people who DO understand.
I know many of you struggle with mental health issues as well, so I thought we could all be together in this. Will you be my shoulder to cry on? I will be very happy to be yours.
Look for the group, share with your friends who needed us as well.
Love you all.
Chey.

To be honest, I’m horrible with Facebook, social media and checking in. I get overwhelmed by notifications. I’ve actually been keeping my phone on silent the past three days just for my peace of mind and it’s helped somewhat. This may sound like a lame excuse, but I’m trying to trim my “social life.” Thank you for the invite and kind words darling.

It is a great thing that people are opening up about their mental health and no longer consider it a taboo

I love the idea behind this, considering there’s a lot of people who aren’t ready to talk about their feelings with someone face to face. This is so lovely and amazing!

Just used our little group to vent a little and it felt great. If you need to talk, you know you can go there and we’ll be there for you. ❤️

Being able to vent and open up via your group on Facebook sounds very similar to why I began my own personal blog. I wanted and needed a way to be able to finally “get it all out there.” It was certainly helpful and I certainly did use it for what I started it for. It truly was a freeing feeling to finally be able to say it all — and then, the panic set in. I have been overwhelmed since posting my big, truth-telling blog post with feelings of dread and doom. These feelings are most likely unwarranted, but they still have me scared to death. So much so, that I have begun to isolate big time because I am so worried about the reaction out there among my true friends who followed my blog.
I am working hard, or maybe not, to come to grips with the fact that my secrets are no longer secrets. I’m not sure of what the outcome will be for me, but I’ve finally put my fears and my self-recrimination out there. I will slowly learn the truth about how these things will effect my life.
I will certainly check out your Facebook group and see if it allows me to continue with freeing myself. May God Bless you on your journey to wellness.
