A place where you can make a maximum impact with few words
Ill kick it off
from Stephen Fry, entertainer
”if I’m reincarnated I hope to return with my depression with me, I know no other way to live”...
and one from me
”without bipolar I wouldn’t be able to write poetry, a tiny but significant lifeline”...

Hi Tony and All,
A counsellor recently said something like:
"people go to receive professional help for mental health issues because other people in their lives cause them hassles yet won't go and get help for themselves or acknowledge they themselves have any issues".
The point was to realise that I don't have to take everything on board that people say to me, as each person has their own issues. It is not for me to own what they say and I can change how I feel about their comments.
Cheers from Doolhof

Hi Dools
how true. Some of us adults for some reason have ended up idolising other adults and what they say.
Another quotes
”we are not in this world to live up to others expectations”
