Not alone.

To know I'm not alone helped me a lot. Nobody here openly talks about mental health. Many are ashamed for others it's so obvious they suffer it's like wearing a dirty coat.

People on here mostly one lady helped me. We chat and found we had a lot in common that helps too.

I started meditation 🧘‍♂️ which has helped me massively. I was either living in the past or thinking to much about the future.

I've been happier now than I've ever been.

This APP is the best one ( I think ) after trying many.

Keep up the great work.

I think the way we live today isn't the right way so much must change. Looking back 40 years we've made great strides though. I see people making the same mistakes as I did , like using alcohol drugs to mask my pain. It didn't it got far worse.

That's all I have to say right now.

Thank you Dodoguitarman for your positive post. You've said a lot within that post

in helping others see there is a beginning and an end to our mental health issues once

we find the tools necessary to help ourselves. Meditation for me has worked wonders as well

as my controlled breathing exercises. Those methods use to come from a tiny pill in

a bottle which took time to work and was never long lasting.

Through time, we all learn through each other's experiences especially when we hear

the amazing results from others like yourself.

I'm glad that your Meditation practices have brought you happiness. After all the

struggling we have all had, it's nice to know it wasn't in vain. May Peace & Calm

fill your heart and your mind today. Namaste :) xx

I don't know if meditation has ever really made much of a difference for me, but I'm intrigued by all of those who swear by it. Is there any specific kind of meditation that people prefer?

I've done mindfulness throughout my life.. I think I'm just naturally mindful, lol. But guided meditations seem to help or at least feel the best.
