I did not know if this was the right area for this post, but it is a help to me so!
This is something I know we have all heard before. But.. I know I forget!
Yesterday I was seeking some advise from a friend. I wanted some insight to a situation in my life, possibly a way to deal with some recent events. After I whined for a while my friend briefly described what was going on in his life. I sat back and felt like a big gust of wind should blow me away. I know that everyone has their problems. I realize that my problems are my problems, they may seem big to me, but in the scheme of things how big are they? I know it has been a good thing for me to step back and think about the big picture. I think it is easier to deal with things when they do not appear so big! I hope this makes sense. If not sorry, but at least I got to get this off my chest. And I hope my friend reads it so he knows I am thinking about him.

hi curly im not very posative at the mo but to me our problems dont seem asbad as others think cause they dont have to live & deal with them,doesnt make them any less valid,being bipolar every probs a earth shattering thing big or small doesnt matter still triggers me.as for self help its vust my opinion but to me its a load of crap that therapists use because there under the impression that we can build a bridge & get overit? i disagree we have no control over it or we wouldnt need pdoc help? so hope i didnt rain on your parade but i warned you i wasnt posative, tc & goodluck
