Mommy's Mental Health - 15th Chapter Celebration and Reflection

My journey here on @Ecency began at the beginning of this year. I started writing this collection of mental health posts, honestly hugely as a cathartic exercise, but as I went along, I realised just how much of a difference I was making by sharing the difficult stuff. You know the long shadows, the icky bits, the imperfect things, the shameful stuff that you hope people won't find out about you.

Incredibly, by sharing my stories and inappropriate humour, not only have I been able to work through some incredibly difficult and traumatic past events in my life, but I have made the most special and genuine connections with people, of all genders races religions and creeds, and that above everything has been the most rewarding part of baring my soul.

Thank you to every single person who has read my posts, left a meaningful comment, reblogged, upvoted and followed me on this completely non-linear journey.

Here are the links to all my previous chapters. Please do give them a read if you've missed one, and please don't worry yourself too much about reading them in order. I didn't really premeditate them and they kind of just rolled out.... almost like they do in therapy (my poor therapist).
