And congrats on moving from a 'lurker' to an active participant!</P> <P>I recall watching a movie years ago called 'girl interrupted' and from what I recall, it was about a girl who developed some sort of mental health issue, but without any significant 'cause' or 'reason. Your comment of "whereas others just... are?" made me think of that movie. </P> <P>I hope that you find here, the support and understanding you seek. </P> <P>Take care, and keep posting. xo</P> Thu, 02 May 2019 09:16:26 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/hullo-there/m-p/445033#M23604 Soberlicious96 2019-05-02T09:16:26Z
