It’s about the determination to keep walking forward.

Dear George: Remember no man is a failure who has friends.

A friend knows the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Sitting silently beside a friend who is hurting may be the best gift we can give.

Don’t take my devils away, because my angels may flee too.

I would never slay the dragon, because the dragon was also me.

Emotions, moods, and impulses, ebb and flow with the tide of my life. Tidal waves, at times, in a bipolar mind.

My recovery from manic depression has been an evolution, not a sudden miracle.

The problem with having problems is that ‘someone’ always has it worse.

You are not your illness. You have an individual story to tell. You have a name, a history, a personality. Staying yourself is part of the battle.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds

The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of the world but those who fight and win battles that others do not know anything about.

You have survived everything you have been through, and you will survive this too.

It’s never overreacting to ask for what you want and need.

Mental health affects every aspect of your life. It’s not just this neat little issue you can put into a box.

you look at me and cry everything hurts i hold you and whisper but everything can heal

No amount of support or generosity justifies someone treating you badly. This includes parents.

Positive vibes only’ isn’t a thing. Humans have a wide range of emotions and that’s OK.

We want you to know that you don’t need to be in crisis or distress to seek help as going to therapy has numerous benefits.
