Personal Narrative: A Letter To A Mental Illness

Improved Essays
I just want to start off by saying that this is my favorite letter to write you. Anyways, there is nothing I like more than getting you hot and bothered and I think I do a pretty good job at it ;) So I want you to remember the feeling of my warm hands softly caressing your supple inner thighs. The sensations as I worked my way up to the radiating heat of your vagina and started rubbing you. These are definitely going to help you on those cold lonely nights and there will be many more to come ;) Of course you’re a very naughty girl so I’m probably going to have to punish you more than I get to please you, so I think I’ll get pretty creative in that department. I was thinking that maybe when you’re naughty, I’d have to take some of your

    Since I was first accepted into the graduate clinical mental health counseling program, I highly anticipated my first experience of actual counseling. I never expected the difficulties I would face upon my first encounter counseling a client. With my client unaware of the reason for being referred to me, asking “what brings you in here today?” turned out to be the wrong question to ask. The more appropriate way initiating a counseling relationship begins with introductions and obtaining background information from the client increasing the trust level between client and the counselor. During the session, I detected my “machine gun questions” meaning I never provided my client adequate time to respond before I asked another question; as a result,…

    The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

    My interests in counseling is fuel by hurts and pain of people I observed throughout my lifespan. From the time I could speak, I saw family members, being taunted, by traumatic event that occurred throughout their lifespan. As I watched the hurt and pain of others consume them, I watch them suppressed the pain, in a harmful matter. For the future suppressing the pain, like substance abuse became an unconscious systematic coping method for stressors. Furthermore, as years progressed the hurt and pain presented itself through violence, verbal, and physical abuse.…

    Throughout the past few years of my life, I've suffered from clinical depression. Freshman year, my formerly happy personality faded and was replaced with a bitter, sad one. I was so scared; I didn't understand why I was hurting so much or that it wasn't my fault. However, I felt that reaching out for help would be even scarier than facing what was going on in my mind. I felt my thoughts were so awful and different from everyone else’s that anyone I told would just look at me in disgust, reiterating what a terrible person…

I know that isn't much, but it is all I have and if you won't accept it-" Holmes cut her off, a smile on his thin face.…

    In May 2017 I took a voluntary medical leave of absence after being released from the hospital. During the time I was suffering with an eating disorder, severe anxiety, depression, PTSD, trichotillomania, insomnia as well as ADHD. For most of my life I have suffered with these symptoms, without any treatment, yet I still succeeded academically and was able to function. In my childhood I experienced various forms of abuse and my family did not believe in mental illness nor have the resources to provide me with help, so I kept many of the struggles I faced hidden and continued to perform academically and maintain a perfectionist attitude. Many people in my community admired me but had no idea what I internally was dealing with.…

Everything is so silent, saved for the heavy footsteps of nurses walking quickly up and down the halls. It smells like dust, and sometimes I wonder if a hospital is a place where time just doesn’t move. It’s like you’re launched back into the past, and suddenly you’re stuck in a world that isn’t like your own.…

    The sickness that I live with is one that some would find excessively appalling, making it impossible to talk about; so I kept it to a whisper. This sickness I thought was to embarrassing to talk about, making it impossible to seek help, left me feeling alone in the dark. This sickness ruined friendships, without me realizing it. This sickness that made getting out of bed a struggle for me. This sickness made it impossible for me to see a positive future, until the day I stopped calling myself “crazy” and began to grow from what we all call, depression.…
