How To Emotionally Prepare Yourself Before Reading About Your Mental Health
It’s just as important as warming up before a workout
We’ve all browsed WebMD or Mayo Clinic before — trying to decipher our array of symptoms while hoping we come to a sound conclusion.
If there’s one thing I appreciate about medically-based articles, you get the facts (mostly).
Experiencing hives with no apparent trigger during the spring? It could be due to external irritants or stress.
There is no emotional attachment. The article isn’t going to start having a therapy session with you, exploring all the negative things impacting your wellbeing.
You get what you need to know, and you leave. It’s cut and dry.
What about reading articles written by other folks?
Perhaps, you’re like me and want to shed awareness on your condition. Maybe you learned something valuable in therapy you’d like to share. Or, you could simply be interested in psychology as an expert or regular lad.
Either way, you get a closer look at how it feels to experience a mental health illness from a more personal perspective.
