The last few years I have spent time, energy and effort on healing from past childhood trauma. Living with the psychiatric disabilities: bipolar 1, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), I have experienced both depression and debilitating anxiety.
As I find my way “out of the fog” and gain more clarity, I am even more invested in my recovery. The following is a letter I wrote to myself to honor the process of healing and to give myself permission to love myself more fully.
