Why i finally did a mental health check after my breakup

Author

I had a mental health assessment this morning, as being discarded had taken a toll on my already fragile mental health. It helped to talk it out with a professional and I'm being referred for anxiety therapy. I consider it self-care, because I need to take care of me now.

when you walked out of the assessment, did you feel lighter at all or just drained?

getting referred for anxiety therapy sounds solid.

i’m really proud of you for going. i spiraled hard after he discarded me too, like couldn’t eat couldn’t sleep type of spiral, and sitting in that first assessment felt scary but also weirdly relieving. choosing yourself like this is huge
