I am always very grateful when I see shows like what Oprah did today.
It helps educate so many and helps, hopefully, rid the stigma that is attached to mental illness.

Instead of watching the show... I went for a long walk - and for that, I am also grateful.

The show will be on again tomorrow at nooon. I will watch it then.

There is a woman in my chorus who has baffled her doctors - her depression is so severe that she has shock treatments. I am the only one who has been privy to this information amongst our chorus members. Others might gasp in disbelief... some might wish they could understand... and many just don't get it... that is why we stay so silent. We are afraid of being judged.

I praise anyone who has the courage to tell their story.
The more we share, the more we know we are not alone.

numbers = strength

Lara - I think the problem with young people is huge. Sadly, they dont all have parents like you and Curious.
