Hi everyone, some of you might remember me from being active on this site towards the back end of last year. I've been away since then and I'm finally ready to jump back in to the community and contribute the forum.
It's difficult in a way as a caregiver to be open about mental health, there's an expectation to be strong and not have these issues. Not from anyone in particular, I think it's societal or maybe I'm just imposing something on myself? Hard to say.
The last few days have been difficult as symptoms of my condition flared up in a big way, but now I'm kind of coming down from that, getting away from the worst moments I feel like I'd like to make some more friends in the community. It doesn't matter if you have mental health issues yourself or not, I'm happy to talk to anyone with an open mind about these things. And if not I'll just hang around on other posts and drop my two cents here and there.
In any case it's nice to be back.
