@outlander

never think that you ignore me..

quite the opposite..

I was intrigued by the conversation between yourself and Sherry..

brilliant...

We all can give different support..

Sherry was able to connect far better with you than I was because I have no experience of that..

You mentioned about feeling guilty having those feelings return...

that is the case with every "mental health illness"....I hate that terminology...needed to use it now so that I do not confuse you..

Clinical depression or whatever the latest name is for me feels like a death sentence...this will probably get censored..

have been in and out all of my life...

so understand totally the feeling of oh should be able to deal with this now...feeling worse even...

that is our mind patterned thinking telling us that by the way...

our mind seems to want us or the unwell part of our mind wants us to go back and listen to the controlling part...

of course when it first hits ...boom...reconnection...past thinking...

when we question this because we have overcome past...painful memories are then brought to the surface...possibly part of the mind game..

you might understand what I am trying to say or it might sound jibberish...

bottom line..

everything that you talk about on here with others and put in place is part of your journey for recovery which is going to lead to opportunities for you ....they are waiting..

Hi @Sophia1 thank you ❤
I understand what you mean and its not gibberish at all.
I dont think a mental health diagnosis defines a person. More just a piece of the puzzle. For me it answered questions as to why i act and think the way do. While its not ideal it is a piece of me.

Today was awful but I did have an interesting conversation with someone earlier today. The questions they asked made me think about things that come naturally to me. Interesting to see them thinking too. My own maturity amazes at me at times. I like conversations that allow me to grow. And then theres some days im looking for my phone thats in my hand 😏

The pink gem was a lovely gift. I am grateful for you and my friends here.

@outlander @Former-Member

it is a lovely feeling when we surprise ourselves with what comes out of our mouths laugh..

I forget that I am acually intelligent so why should I be surprised.

makes me laugh actually.,.

definitely is a part of my personality
