Being a Positive Force - MHWA Topic
Be a positive influence today. Make a difference. In what way did you or someone else accomplish this?

Lately it's been really tough to be positive. A week ago I admitted my daughter again for mental health treatment (see here for updates on that "Loving LibbyOpen in new Window.) which is something that never gets easier, no matter how many times I do it (13 so far). So for about five days I was in an ugly head-space full of anger, frustration, fear, despair, grief, and depression. It's taken days to get my head back on straight. But, I can officially say that I'm on the mend from the recent crisis and starting to feel better. Which brings me to the positive influence part.

Yesterday I was invited to be a community leader for Mental Health Writers Alliance. The group is a year old and the leader needed some support handling the load so I volunteered. I'm thrilled to take a leadership role in such an outstanding group doing something so vitally important. Collectively we're building a resource of mental health topics on WDC that anyone can search. Need resources on depression? You'll find a wide range and wealth of information. Want to connect with someone about it? Join us!

So that's my way of giving back positivity - helping to lead this amazing group. Sharing my knowledge and expertise on a subject I'm passionate about. Helping other members find their way. I can't think of anything I'd rather do to give back to this amazing community. It also means, no slacking off. I have to login every day. I've already helped the group with several things this morning as soon as I got on so I'm pretty excited about that. Making an immediate impact is great to me.
