Something to remember.

Something to remember.

I just wanted to put a post up to remind everyone on here that you are all important too. I know in our lives we get into rescuing and caring roles for others or have been told but someone in our family, work or school that we are only allowed to have what others allow us to have in our lives. This is just a reminder that these things are simply not true!! You can have and you can be, before mother, brother, grandma, middle class, employee, student, friend, defendant, lower class, tall, short, with disability or mental illness etc etc You are YOU!! and that IS ENOUGH! YOU ARE ENOUGH!! Thank you all for being on this forum and sharing your knowledge & experiences with others. Much love to you all. 🙂

Re: Something to remember.

Hey @Acquired _taste

Welcome to our forum. I'm pleased you found us here as you obviously have a lot to contribute.

I'm Kurra and I have Bipolar 1. Fortunately I'm quite stable now. It's been a long hard slog but recovery is possible and as you said being me is enough. Probably too much sometimes.

Just jump in on any of the discussions if you feel you'd like to join the conversation. For more social chit chat have a look at the Beer Garden and the Night Shift. There's usually someone around day and night.

Have a good evening and a fabulous day tomorrow. Hugzzz 🎶

Hi @Acquired_taste

Your post made me feel good, it's SO true I can totally relate.

We spend so much our time worrying and caring for others, and if they are happy or doing ok and we also expect so much from ourselves but just being yourself is enough!

Thank you.

Hi @Acquired_taste,

Thanks for the important reminder! It's so easy to forget that we are more than the labels given to us, or even the labels we give ourselves.

Hope to see you post more on here.

Re: Something to remember.

@Acquired_taste. Thank you so much for those beautiful words. I had a cry over them. It is so nice to be reminded that we are all special people - deserving of love.
