Beautiful drawing Brig....I paint.... and as far as meeting like minded people...this place is hit or miss really, but I'm glad your sharing...I only come on briefly but caught your posts and wanted to acknowledge your work and your kindness....kept sharing....
No...we are mostly just your garden variety mental health crowd here... I have depression and some other stuff....that's why I'm here. But I haven't seen many vets over the last couple of years, and sadly no one who has stuck around. Hope you do, I like your positive attitude..it's refreshing..and appreciated... it's expected on a site for depression to have a lot of people on the down side of this disease sharing, but it's really nice when you meet someone like yourself who also shows an upside. That’s not to say you don’t have struggles, and those are important to share too.
Tk u that helps a great deal I believe too many people look at the two percent we have challenges on same as anyone and dwell in that rather than the 98 percent we can do
I do not consider myself exceptional at all but I have a laundry list of abilities. But of course certain people just want to talk about or label us as mentally ill. Yes sure people suffer from depression but what are we going to do about it or make life netter that where friends help pull us Forrest’s to have people we care about and not label us anymore than my friend Jim is black or in a wheelchair what wheelchair ??we learn to adapt and compensate and get more done by breakfast than ten so called notm people and we certainly undrstanf depression so we all stick together as friends the only perfrct people are those who sit in the safe seats and the bleachers ya they have all the answers come down on the field and let’s see how perfrct u are. I’ve been a competitor and coach all my life the only perfrct people are those who don’t play
Well my friend...we are in good company as there are many great artists, poets, and scholars who were considered to have mental illness. We feel more, care more at times, and our sensory perception I think for many of us, it is higher than average society, as we notice detail, colors, sounds that most wouldn't see or care about. It's where creative genius dwells is in the detail, and the imagination and wonder. I believe we are capable of much more than most of us can even imagine ourselves.
