Hey! I wrote a post like this before and received wonderful replies so I am doing it again!

Basically I was advised to write a letter to my mental illness as if it were a real person. I found it helped me, both writing to it and reading my family's letters to my mental illness.

So 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, bipolar, agoraphobia, depression, OCD etc. Alternatively you could write to a loved one about the illness. It’s all anonymous of course. The aim is to share the letters and read other people's letters and hopefully it will make us feel less alone!

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

Here is the website for anybody interested :) [https://www.letterstomymind.com/](https://www.letterstomymind.com/)
