Okay so I was recommended a technique of writing a letter to your mental illness. If you were to write a letter to anxiety as if it were a real person what would you write? It’s actually a very therapeutic technique (or has been for me at least).

You could also write to a person you love who maybe doesn't understand depression/mental illness too well (looking at you mum and dad) and what you wish you could say to them.

On a tangent- I started a project where I collect and publish people's ‘Letters to their mental illness’ where anybody can post letters to their illness, from eating disorders, depression, OCD etc. It’s all confidential of course.

I would love a letter from anybody here who would like to take part! Thank you for reading this!
