Maybe only include the second and maybe the third choice?

It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.

Even though I'm not Bipolar (I have Complex-PTSD), I found Unquiet Mind to be quite an informative and inspirational read back when I first started out on my own healing and recovery journey ...

I hope y'all find it helpful too!

Sincerely,
Pfrog!

Great--found a used copy of unquiet mind at my local savers store so eager to reread. Just have to get through Skeleton in Cupboard first...

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
