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.

If You Love Me
"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023Complete

I See you, Y/N. (Emily Prentiss X Reader)
"I'm living in hell. At least that's how it feels. But it's okay because I don't know any different. You can get used to anything if you think it's meant to be." Y/n is living her life in the hell of her childhood home until the BAU frees her. After years there is a reunion with her rescuers to help solve her own case. Does everybody still recognize her? Does y/n remember what happend? Is she good enough and able to help? And why can't she get Emily Prentiss out of her head? I'm writing this story from the first person perspective. I use the pronouns she/her for y/n, if you would like something different, let me know. This is my first story and English is not my first language, so please be gracious. This story covers toxic parents, murder (not clearly described), violence and mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-harm and suicide attempt/ thoughts. Please don't read this story if it triggers you. If you wanna know exactly what TW every Chapter has, feel free to message me. Maybe there will be smut if I dare to write this ;) I don't own any of the characters! Have fun and let me know what you think!Complete
Don't let go - Emily Prentiss x Reader
You and Emily met at the BAU when she transferred back from Interpol after Hotch had hired you a few months before. You fit right into the team when you joined, and naturally developed a great friendship with Emily when she returned too. But that friendship quickly developed into a little something more, and although you'd agreed to keep it secret from the rest of the team, it was getting harder to hide how much you cared for each other, especially when one particular case puts you right at the forefront of the team's investigation. This fanfic will revolve around y/n having mental health issues, and whilst the relationship with Emily will play a large part in the storyline, I want to keep it as realistic as possible so y/n's mental health problems will continue throughout. For the purposes of this story, Emily's return from Interpol is the only reason why she's left the BAU, the Ian Doyle storyline has not happened yet. (This story mentions various mental health topics including depression, anxiety, eating disorders (restriction and purging), self-harm and suicide. Please don't read if you think it'll trigger you, and please reach out to someone if you're struggling.) Smut warning - chapters with smut involved will have '*' in the titleComplete

Trauma Ruined My LIfe (The Real-Life Journal Of An Abuser)
It was October 2023, and my now-ex-fiance had moved out of our trailer for good. I decided to end our relationship and thought I had emotionally moved on from them. I was wrong-dead wrong. What followed them moving out was something I could not have ever thought to experience. I began to experience extreme mood swings, controlling behavior, self-esteem issues, and a new-found addiction to alcohol. This was just the tip of the iceberg, as I was constantly flirting with suicide on a daily basis. I could not begin to even tell you about how I went through an emo phase, a "man hoe" phase, and multiple other phases as well due to my deteriorating mental health. I began to document my everyday life after our split through two separate journals over a twelve-month span. This is the true tale of how a breakup brought me to the realization that I was an abuser and that I became the same monster that I swore not to become as a kid. This is how trauma ruined my life, and how it will ruin yours too.Complete
I Am Always Here For You
Hello everybody, so I wanted to write this story because I feel like people often hide their mental health issues and I just don't think it's right that they feel like they have to be ashamed of it. Now, I don't know anyone who has a bipolar disorder so all this knowledge is from school. Please correct me if I get anything wrong.Complete
Levels of Stress
Pain. Depression, anxiety, insomnia, panic disorder - it wasn't a lonely feeling, but one that wouldn't hesitate to rip your heart open. I know that personally. It's always been difficult to tell people. I can't tell my friends, my family, and certainly not therapists. That's why I've created a system that I call my 'Levels of Stress' and have saved my 10... that is up until now. ***Warning: contains triggers, graphic violence, and a lot of deep, raw emotions. It has parts of entries from my journal during my worst period, the parts that I never thought about sharing until I realized how I could relate it to others.***Complete![You and Her (Emily Prentiss x Fem.Reader) [ORIGINAL]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/261303245-256-k721219.jpg)
You and Her (Emily Prentiss x Fem.Reader) [ORIGINAL]
You started working at the BAU over a month ago. When Emily has a bad day she takes your comfort as more than kindness. Surprised you reject her, but afterwards you can't get her out of your head. (This is the original story. I'm now working on rewriting it.) Don't be afraid to give feedback. (Btw no smut). Send me story requests! I don't own any of the Criminal Minds characters or the dialogue and cases taken from the show. I have another book for any Criminal Minds One Shots. Check it out!Complete
All The Things I've Never Told You
Would it have changed anything if I had told you this before? Would it have sugarcoated everything and made it better? I guess we'll never know or maybe I'll never know. But most importantly had I stayed longer, had I admitted my feelings to myself and had I realized I loved you; maybe it could've been better. You only know, about me, what you've been told but it never really mattered to you because they were nothing more than rumors. But it's too late to turn back the hands of time, too late for me to come back, too late for you to still love me and too late for you to untouch me...Complete
