We are still learning about mental illnesses, that is how I found PC looking for more answers to depression. If I had cancer everyone would be at my door wanting to help because they understand it. If people knew how to understand mental illnesses would my friends be at my door? I am think they would be. The biggest problem is they don't understand. We don't understand we only know how it makes us feel.

In my past, I have helped many people for different reasons. I knew a little senior lady that had no one in town to help her so every time she needed something she would call me, could you take out my trash, move a sofa or what ever. This person was not stuck in the house but she could not lift anything. So she called me, I was always happy to help her.

I also had a senior man that had family in town that wouldn't do anything for him. I used to take him shopping, take out his trash, get his food from the senior center, what ever I could do to help. Bad think about this man is that his son lived right across the street. Go figure.

I guess what I am trying to say is that the more people who really understand the more people will help us. I don't know how to get the word out. But look at us here at PC, we all understand and we all care. We are all the same, we are fighters of an illness that we so want to understand.

Hugs for your day.. Hope I am making sense to you. Not sure in my own mind today.
