A wise quote for everyone on this forum

[vip]

Hi everyone I came across this piece of writing on the mental health awareness website and i think this best describes all of us on this forum that suffer with mental illness.  The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation of sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happens.          All of us on this forum have spirit and we are beautiful on the inside and out because we have basically all been to hell and back . Together as a group by sharing our stories we can help one another with the demons of depression that follow us everday and get back on track with our lives and start living. Take care to all of you xxx

Hi Nes

I'm glad that you posted this ... a lovely post - a lovely collection of words and so much meaning.

I think I wrote on another post somewhere that I believe the people who have suffered from or continually suffer from mental illness are the most compassionate caring supportive people going around.  And this website/forum is true testament to that.

Giggles, I loved your particular post as well.

So yeah, to you Nes ... a lovely post and thread that you commenced here.

Kind regards

Neil

I would suggest that true strength and courage is in those who, having seen the true nature of the world have taken a leap of faith into the greatest unknown despite the machinations of the masses.

This is so true Nes. All people from all demographics are living their own personal journeys. People with depression are living their personal journeys. And yes, it does allow us all to understand and give compassion, honesty, integrity and sensitivity. We are strong! Whether we know it or not... we are! We have so much to give. That needs to begin with giving that kindness, compassion, honesty, integrity and sensitivity to ourselves first and foremost. Than we can truly move mountains! :)
