I SEE ME

[sweetiepye]

When I read the posts on site I come to know you and this is what I see....people who have courage . people who want to help others...people who are smart, smart enough to figure out medications and treatments , people who don't judge, and are kind, creative people, paintings and poems , and so much more. I have come to realize that we have more than our illnesses in common we also have our better qualities in common. When I look at you, I see me. For one of the few times in my life I feel like I fit in and I like what I see. I feel stronger and more successful. If you can do it, I can do it. We do it together. Pam

Thank you. Don't you feel good about belonging with this group of people? It gives me courage.

What a lovely post, thank you for writing this!

[sweetiepye in reply to Hidden]

I am happy to. When I validate you I validate myself. We all have differences too , but if I appreciate what we have in common then I can look at our differences in a new light. I can grow.

A very healthy way to handle the things we cope with

Thanks Pam I feel exactly the same ...depressed anxious people are the best

[sweetiepye in reply to Sillysausage234]

Hey, anybody can be normal. It takes really creative people to make a success out of anxiety and depression.

[Beevee in reply to sweetiepye]

...and when you come out the other side, you are stronger than ever and have more compassion and empathy for people because you just don’t know what battles they are waging. And for that reason, we are the lucky ones. I think all people should experience anxiety and depression at some point because it would make the world a much nicer place.

[sweetiepye in reply to Beevee]

We are the lucky ones. Lucky to know how to take a negative and turn it into a positive .

Aw bless you my friend. We go back a long way and I can see the differences in you since then. We all live and learn don't we no matter what our age. Well done Pam. xx

[sweetiepye in reply to hypercat54]

I feel the difference Bev, and it feels better.

[hypercat54 in reply to sweetiepye]

Absolutely wonderful post!! Yes we can do this. I only wish others in my life would be as kind, non judgmental and supportive as this group is. We are great and can get thru this.

[sweetiepye in reply to All_alone]

I wish that too, but I don't expect it.

[All_alone in reply to sweetiepye]

Neither do I. Learned a long time ago.
