    #ITSOKAYTOTALK - Mental Illness

    I read this last night while wide awake, trying to fall asleep after an anxiety/panic attack, the last paragraph in Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts... "For this is what we do. Put one foot forward and then the other. Lift our eyes to the snarl and smile of the world once more. Think...

    #ITSOKAYTOTALK - Mental Illness

    Good to hear @Viper_SA :wink: And it is so true, we all believe in some way or another, that we are the only ones experiencing the problems we have and that everyone else is handling life a lot better than we are but it is simply not true at all. We all have our own issues and problems to...

    @Viper_SA - I really wish that there was something that I could say that would take you to the corner you need to turn. I can share my story, I can share my opinion, I can share some advice but this journey is yours and yours alone to make but know that you are not alone. We are all here to at...

    #ITSOKAYTOTALK - Mental Illness

    A great share @Feliks Karp :wink: During my separation and eventual divorce from my ex wife, I found myself alone and lonely on many, many, many occasions. At times I just let things be as I needed to deal with my struggles in my own way but there were times I forced myself out of bed or off...

    #ITSOKAYTOTALK - Mental Illness

    Thanks for sharing @Raindance :wink: This would have been my advice to @Viper_SA, I have personally experienced this and seen a close friend go to hell and back due to substance abuse and the belief that it somehow helped him get through his troubles. In short, it didn't and will never...

    #ITSOKAYTOTALK - Mental Illness

    No rain at all, I learnt this first hand when separating from my ex wife last year and then going through the divorce. I had all the help in the world from family, friends and my psychiatrist but there was a lot that I had to deal with and get through on my own. Sometimes I got my arse in...

    I am not sure that I agree entirely but I do acknowledge the benefits of seeing a professional like a psychiatrist, life coach or mentor.

    #ITSOKAYTOTALK - Mental Illness

    Which is exactly what this thread and the WhatsApp group are there for [emoji6] None of us are professionals, medically anyway, and so sharing our experience for others to learn from is beneficial to both those sharing and those learning about others stories. For me, sharing my story has been...

    I hear you bud, I do think that social media has some benefits, but I largely stay away from it especially when it comes to sharing my private life.

    Before, and sadly he never croaked like he should have, he took his own life leaving a wife, 6 kids, band members, friends, family and millions of fans behind.
