Blogging helps me to cope also.

I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder, schizoaffective disorder and other mental illnesses in 2014 when I was 48 years old. It was the beginning of a life of misery. These diseases have also destroyed me physically. I am aware of various coping skills but can barely practice any of them, except for prayer and some journaling.
I haven't experienced this.
