i'm so glad you posted this. last week i shared something around my mental health and that lingering voice of "not being good enough" -- luckily ini and i get that one and other depressions, sadnesses, etc out in the open as they can just eat us up inside! it was both scary and vulnerable to share that on steemit. some people provided what i thought were pat responses that actually bothered me (i've never experienced that kind of thing, but have you tried meditating!?=not helpful)... on the other hand, i got some really cool helpful insights i hadn't thought of before to step out of my mental hole.

this was a new benefit of opening up- people might actually be able to share things that help me lol!

i hear you and i am so glad you did this to confront the stigma and to open up about your own experience. @battleaxe has been doing so as well and it's so liberating to share where we're at. i have found a really non judgmental community here. as far as people judging us, too, i know i can get impeded by that thought, but it's helpful for me to think that if anyone reads it and either judges or just doesn't say anything then that message of mine just wasn't for them.. i think a big part of these things is we ourselves accepting ourselves and where we're at. then the sting of judgment doesn't matter as much..

also, i'm really sorry to hear about your ex cheating and your breakup and all of the other difficult things!!! that sucks!! can see already myself, @amymya and @hethur240 are resonating with you and here for/with you. much love!!
