Hey @MB95
I really hope that you are doing okay, and know that you are not ruining things. It seems clear to me that you have a passion for mental health, and a lot of this stems from your personal experience? (Also, thank you for sharing your experience so honestly, that takes such courage and strength!)
I understand how you feel about feeling out of place. I work as a support worker at the moment, and sometimes feel like I shouldn't be doing what I'm doing because I struggle so much with my own mental health - like how am I supposed to support someone else if I can't always support myself? I have learnt over time that growing through your own personal experience does genuinely help you better help others within mental health work. And especially if your super passionate about the field, I'm sure you'll do really well.
I hope you don't feel like you have to hide as well, because it is okay to be not okay.
Sending lots of love and light your way 🙂
