Good Morning!

Good morning @TAB sounds like a lot of driving - having a walk would be good to stretch your legs.

Sorry Tab where is your destination, I haven't been keeping up on the forums as of late.

Anyway have a super safe drive

Prob right re MH and friends @Former-Member dont need many anyway guess tho

Hi @Former-Member am driving to SA again. For good this time. I bought a small house in the country w inheritance

Good morning @Former-Member ! How have you been lovely woman? Still plugging away here. How did you go with wrist/ankle weights? I checked them out on Kmart. Next week when I get my pension I will buy. I'm getting the .5kg ones. Thanks for the inspo. Not much is new just reading a book on Spiritual Clearings. Got it used off World of Books Australia. Its a great way to get affordable books. I usually do clearings off of you tube but wanted a resource to use myself from a book in case of no internet. I felt better after doing Clearings its great spiritual hygiene. Well I guess I better push myself out the door for another walk lol

Hi @Former-Member how is it going?

what drives you everyday?

I can't advise for you to say @Former-Member You have to make up your own mind about what you choose to disclose. I think we have discussed it before. People tend to think schizophenics are violent. I was honest with people but unfortunately it attracted crime from other people. Mental illness attracts crime and the worst type of discrimination, bigotry and abuse. In the past I just would say I've had a nervous breakdown which I haven't fully recovered from and its affected my ability to relate to other people. You don't need to tell people anything really its none of anyones business I have come to accept. Anyway its totally up to you.

Well at work, what I’ve said so far to countless people is either mental health, depression, which I had… so I’m still being true to extents @Former-Member . I think the majority of people with this illness will not disclose it in fears of stigma.

as you said we have discussed this before and you told me to say “I saw something which I couldn’t shake’ which I understand but didn’t go down that route. It was good advice cause I was still reeling in what I have acquired in life.

and can I ask when you experienced crime, as have I was it when you were accepting the illness?

I’m just going to play games @Former-Member

Yes people spread rumours about you and can cause all kinds of illegal activity mainly vilification, stalking and abuse @Former-Member You only have to look what is done to people of color and other minorities. They still haven't resolved duality regarding "the other" in their own minds. I know its a burden carrying a mental health diagnosis but for me disclosure was not the way. What you do with it is your decision and only you can make your mind up about how you wish to proceed.

I like myself enough to put up with other people’s bs @Former-Member
