Could you share what the XYZ is, for me, my XYZ is being so open about my illness, people think I 'create' my bipolar out of the blue sky! They say SHUT UP about you being bipolar- it is your excuse for everything!!
How wrong and very wrong they are..
I had to get a job with a bunch of eccentric, freethinkers, before my self esteem and confidence it shot right up like that!
I had no family to speak of.
The freethinkers they saw Junerain for who Junerain was, a valuable human being with thoughts and emotions that MATTERED.......
awwww.....I am tearing up now......
