I have mental illness. Mind clarity is rare, too briefly and often too late. Old friends and acquaintances would look away when they see me. Yup, that unpopular. Of course, I get angry and hurt but deep down, I know I’d do the same too, if I saw 'me'. That’s the icy cold papercut truth. The illness cuts even deeper. I thank you for your readership. Your presence here makes me feel less alone. This blog helps me remember my true worth as a person, and how my own mind threatens it.

I watched this on Oprah, Ntv7 this morning and was very moved by this woman's outlook in life.
When asked if she remembers the trauma, she answered, "No, I don't want to remember. I want to heal. I want to focus on recovery."
With the help of a nurse, Charla strolls around the hospital daily - the only leisure activity she can manage.
When asked if there were dark days, she answered, "Yes, but I force myself to get up and walk anyway."
Oprah was in awe and said, "Well, I don't have an excuse for myself then!"
