My Anxiety Journal

Talking about your mental health and also letting it out in any way possible certainly helps you manage it. Speaking to my GP for the first time about my symptoms led me onto a period of feeling better. Of course, mental health is not static and can be unpredictable, so this relieving time came to an end after a few weeks. However, I certainly don't think it was coincidental that I felt better after venting.

I am making this journal (in which I will be discussing my experience with general anxiety disorder) public to encourage you, my readers, to talk about your feelings and experiences. The more we shut ourselves off, the more we shut down. Perhaps one of you, or maybe more, will relate to me in these journal entries, and then, we will be able to lift each other up.
