Quote's of the month

Carers forum:

"I've had to learn to realise that she needs to take responsibiilty for her life and not to blame myself when there is friction and to get some emotional distance - but its hard." - this was said by @franklin32 here around a discussion on involuntary treatment

Lived Experience Forum:

"It's hard to be positive and look forward to each day, but I try to look for the one small thing that makes that day just a little OK. If that means you got out of bed and brushed your teeth, that's a win." - said by @Sans911 when discussing tough times here
