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.

I also had a mental health evaluation after my breakup. I was surprised to learn that I have severe anxiety as well as ADHD. I got on some meds my anxiety is so much better. Now I know what it's like to feel normal. These meds have really helped me get over this breakup and I am so thankful.
when you walked out of the assessment, did you feel lighter at all or just drained?
Mostly lighter, but also a bit drained. It did help to talk about what happened, and about other stuff too.
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
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that.
self care is the only kind of care that actually pays off so yeah
