Be Aware & Day 10

Hello readers,

Disclaimer: this is only what I think when I hear this. Everyone has their own opinion and definition of it.

Mental health
more important than you think
it affects your life
something that needs to be talked about,
not ignored
you are still important
if you suffer from mental illness

Even if it's something small
take care of it all
you are still important.

My mind spins with anxiety
questioning everything
checking up on everything big and small

I'm still scared to tell people
I slowly am
the resources on the internet are there to help you
I discover journaling a worry list helps
once it's out there it's gone
in the back of the mind, not forgot
but done and moved on
a fresh start each day

Just remember to not over think
to not think it everyday
only on its important days
because you are important
deserving to smile and live.

Only some people are recognized with what they have
yet everyone has something
no matter how small
no one is better than anyone
we should not ignore those who need help
we should be a friend.

Love, Fida

So glad you wrote this, dear one. I have never heard of a worry list, but I do know writing definitely packs a powerful oomph on all that ails me. THANK YOU thank you.

"You are still important." That's something that everyone needs to hear frequently, especially those who suffer from mental illness. One of the biggest obstacles to get over is believing you're not good enough, important or useful in any way.

I think "important" is meant in every definition of the word. In this case it has a lot of different meanings and reasons why. I think the writer is not only saying the topic is important (as in shouldn't be ignored and people shouldn't judge) but also that the people going through it are important (as in they're not useless and they mean something to society as well). Just my take on it.

Perfect advice! AND yes! everyone has something... I think neurotic is the best we can all hope for!

Hearing About IWSG

Hello readers, I was reading Ali's post about this support group that talks about writerly doubts. I have doubts and I shall share them because that's the point of a support group. I used to be insecure about traditional publishing, that no one with accept my writing. Then I heard of self publishing. Yet that added to my insecurities. I have no money or talent to showcase my writing. After IndieReCon I felt a better, yet once the high went away, I find it's only a little bit better. I need a team, I need help. I call for help, but I don't get replies. That's another insecurity, I don't think I have any fans. My blog is becoming dead and I keep thinking of deactivating my twitter. The only reason I stay is for the knowledge. And the worse insecurity, dare I say it. All the above add to me... wanting to quit writing. I have little motivation and that motivation is to show my Muslim community you don't have to be a doctor or lawyer or teacher to be...
