Its good these people speak out about it. In my 20's it was taboo (shameful) we had to hide it and soldier on "fake it 'till ya make it" but of cause, that energy runs out.
Like what Melody says "Can't wait to get better ignoring it"
Lighting a candle for Melody, wish her well. Brave young woman!
@Former-Member Very brave young woman - to so openly and honestly share her struggles and recognise that timeout is needed to confront her illness and take the time to heal - however long that may be. Hopefully this will start a wider conversation 'in the real world' about the effects of MI and that it is more often than not a long journey to recovery and/or to get to a place where an individual can 'manage' their illness - and this can only be achieved with support, compassion and respect.
