Mental Health ~ The Journal #69- The Conflict in Being Alone- But Not Alone

Mental Health ~ A Support Network for Mental Health
I have long been on the fence regarding support networks. I attended some that only brought me down, and others with so little accountability, you can't rely on their process as support. I appreciate the current group I am meeting with as we are using a specific workbook written for mental health.
