Tru Tru. Lately ive been thinkin about joining a social group at a place meant to help ppl with mental illnesses. This site for me is the first step of establishing and maintaining a social life. When i was baker acted, I was put in a new enviroment. At first, my anti social behaviour and lack of speech got ppl talkin. I was at my worst psychotic episode, before I started takin meds. Eventually i met certain ppl that were mad cool and one even helped me through the worst times! The bad part was, when I left there, I never saw them again... Im glad u got the chance to bond with other ppl, And I dont believe that non-mentally ill ppl are normal. There aint no such thing as a normal person. Everybody got something wrong with them in some way, shape, or form. Thats because noones perfect. Im just different in many ways. I dont fit the stereotype, neither am I limited to labels. Normal is limited to ones own perspective. I wish u well in ur relationship, and thanx for sharing!
