A client at my project told me I looked lovely, he then told me I am a lovely woman. He has dementia, and so he speaks from his heart - this was extra special to me.
Thanks for this!

My former case manager. He helped me get a grant to pay for a year of my housing when I had to live with no power and water in a run down house for a couple months and a storage unit for another month last year all because my step father had a heart attack and couldn't work to support me anymore.

This man fought for me when I had given up all hope. Prior to meeting him, the only thing that I felt was there for me when I needed somebody was my inner darkness. Because he was there for me and helped me so much this past year, I was saved from myself. He helped fight for me and helped me gain some of the tools and learn some of the skills needed to function as an adult. While I still have trouble, I went from a mentally unstable person who couldn't support myself or do anything right and only saw darkness to a full time college student who is almost ready to achieve some much stability in his life all because of this one person.

I truly have him to thank me for showing me some compassion and helping me see that there are people who aren't selfish pieces of crap out there. Before I met him, I truly thought that humans were all selfish scary backstabbers and nobody would ever care about me because I'm too crazy to be loved. This way of thinking almost led me to living the life of a conman screwing people over to meet my needs. I truly saw only darkness and despair before my case manager, no, my friend, helped me.

He took a job at a homeless shelter and is no longer seeing me. I miss him dearly
Thanks for this!

A friend of mine brought me soup once, when I had the flu.

I do sometimes display compulsive behaviors, and I've talked with my therapist about the times that I have been compulsive. She made the point of reminding me of the evidence that suggests I actually show a lot of stability.

My boyfriend told me I am the most amazing and good-natured person he has ever known. That was a high compliment that made me feel good.
Thanks for this!

It was over five years ago, my p-doc praised me - after hearing about my MI struggles over the years and how I have never been hospitalized, she told me that most people in my shoes/situation would've given up!

I have never forgot that - it was like the only time I ever felt someone truly understood what it takes for me to hold myself together! Most people just see all the things I'm NOT doing - but she saw me and the inner strength I have and it takes to do what I've been doing!
