I have mental health problems and I cannot afford to pay for therapy. AllPoetry gave me a space to express myself even though I can sound harsh and loud from time to time. I am beginning to see a lot of other individuals in the community with similar mental health problems as well and in the past I wasted a massive amount of time and emotional energy allowing myself to get caught up in the worlds and opinions of others. Sometimes I have to take a step back from the computer because my mental illness gets mixed up with others who have mental illness as well. Its been my experience that AllPoetry is doing to best they can to assist those with mental illness while allowing them a safe space to express themselves within reason. I see many licensed and accredited doctors and therapists on AllPoetry creating hope for afflicted individuals with their creative writings. In fact, I've had a few doctors and therapists reach out to me along with a few unaccredited individuals who reached out to me because they care. I mean, Allpoetry can seem strange sometimes and its not often that I come across something that offends me but, I believe the Allpoetry team and community of poets are doing their best to be fair while maintaining peace and a degree of kindness.
Allpoetry helped me get the ugly out of me when I had nowhere else to go and no one to talk to... When no one else would see me, Allpoetry sow me... And even though I had my bad moments and mental breakdowns, AllPoetry showed me love... I mean, Allpoetry helped me grow up in ways that I don't think was possible... Like finding god... I believe in what AllPoetry is doing for the world.
