pay it forward is to me [and katiebell] truly inspirational by design...........you actually do get to fix another human being [you just don't wait about to see the success story]
I too have BP diagnosed in 2006....though probably had it from when i was 13.....1977......[first suicidal thought and crass attempt]
throughout life i muddled on.................
1993.....big year............mutilated my body in big attempt............
but for the last 18 years i have been a support worker in two fields....8 years with disabled adults.....last ten years homeless adults........with varying support needs.addiction..criminal backgrounds...mental health abuse victims and perpetrators.......etc..........
when you have or can walk a mile in someone else s shoes..........you become a semi professional...........and believe it or not many listen to you more than fully professional people.......[why?,,,, because youv'e been there.......felt the pain]
.Disability..............is only such if you allow it to dis-able
YOU
and don't think for one min...... I've mastered this demon...........i have not............August 21 2011 last overnight A&E stay suicidal thoughts..............[they don't always go AWAY..........you learn to live with emmmmm. [don't act on the thought act on the fear..........get to a doctor or hospital............
you can overcome this crappy time in your life........... Just learn to dance in the rain...................
