Breaking the stigmas

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let you all know I'm still here, it has been a paricularly tough week for me and one of my first symptoms of mood drop is 'writers block'. I read all of your posts, more than daily, I open the reply window ... I know what i want to say .... but it just doesn't make it to the keyboard from my fingers.

To everyone who has mentioned me in comments, I will get back to you, and thank you.

In the meantime, during a bout of insomnia I saw an episode of 'The Stream' on Al Jazeera

I'd like to share it with the 'forum family' .... I thought the 4 guests spoke so well, very open and thoughtful and I identified with so much of what they said (although I am not OCD)

If you have a spare 1/2hr it is well worth a watch.

I have saved this to have a look at later - thanks for sharing @WombatBoots

I hope things are improving for you this week!

GO THE BLUES

(I just realised 'Go the blues' has a double meaning... the football team and also a reference to feeling 'blue' - see what I did there!?!)
