Hi all,
This morning I decided today would make a good reading day, so started in on a book I'd purchased: "Beyond Crazy" by Julia Nunes and Scott Simmie. (Thanks again Paul M for the suggestion.)
Its a compilation of short biographies of people living with, or who lived with, mental illness. Its been interesting to read about some of the experiences people have endured, and to become more familiar with the illnesses I am (thankfully) not intimatly familiar with.
Its kind of like this forum in that it is a great reminder of how I am by no means alone in my "craziness".
It is also a great reminder that even in regards to my darkest moments, I could have it so much worse. (Now if only I could remember this when the lights go out and there is a fulll eclipse of the moon.)
I'll post again after I read a few more stories.
Kaight
