OPTIONAL Guide:

If you are having trouble figuring out what to write, feel free to use this general guideline:

• When were you / your loved one or friend diagnosed?

• How did you initially feel?

• How did you respond? Why do you think you responded in this way?

• Was there anything that made you feel better? Any hobbies or coping mechanisms that helped?

• Was there anything you did or didn’t do that might have made you feel worse?

• Do you feel like you are in a better place mentally now or has it gotten worse?

• Anything else you would like to share?
