Writing or Reading?

Yeah, it’s very intense I tell you. Not only I wrote about PTSD, I even wrote documents about:

  • Clinical Depression

  • Body Dysmorphia

  • Asperger’s Syndrome (even though I have been diagnosed with it since I was a kid, I felt that it would be better to make a document about it since it wasn’t been looked into details when I was younger)

  • Eating Disorder

Trust me, it’s crazy as I feel that I need to write them all down since I’m not very good at talking to someone about it. Basically, I’m trying to get counselling.

Sorry if that is off topic but you get what I mean.

That’s true. But we’ll see once my mind is in gear for this.

Sounds interesting :thinking:

Take your time, hopefully you enjoy the forums all the same!

I wouldn’t want to make it into an actual book since it’s very confidential. It’s kind of writing in a journal (which I still do now) but I felt that it’s beneficial for me to do that so I can talk to a health professional about all of this since they have never been discussed.

Will do. Just remember, don’t bring up political threads as I feel that it’d mess me up.

Understandable! We’ll make sure you don’t get dragged into anything you don’t want to be

Glad you understand. It’s really frustrating that I have to keep printing the selected pages because each time I proof read, my OCD starts tingling that I have to keep going back to change it and print them out. I usually go to the library to do all of this since I can’t print it at home in case my brother & parents read them.

Thanks. It’s just that a long time ago, I left Facebook, IG and all of this because of that. People I was friends with treated me like dirt there too.

As mush as it sounds interesting, it seems like the whole writing reports thing is tiresome.

Ahhh I get that. There are political discussions here but it doesn’t make up the whole. Shannii writes is primarily art-based tbh

It is tbh. Right now, it’s just proof reading and editing so I can give all of this to my doctor. Guess how many pages, the PTSD document has?

I don’t know. Maybe between 40-90? :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::woman_shrugging:t4::woman_shrugging:t4:

65 pages so your estimation is accurate :smiley: funny how I can’t write an essay for university but I can write a long document about my mental health.

Amen honestly

I wish you luck with this.

Thanks. Perhaps I should be a writer since I love writing so much. Especially when I write in my diary which I find very therapeutic compared to writing statuses on Facebook and all that.
