I’m not sure about you but I found too that I am enjoying performing on a whole different level than I ever was before, now that I’m feeling better. Sorry we didn’t get to enjoy a pizza together. Next time

When I was depressed for 10 or so months I couldn’t feel joy. I could have moments where I’m happy or understand that one activity is preferable to another but I. I couldn’t EN-JOY anything is how I put it.

I am a vocational coach for people with disabilities. Some are dealing with mental illness and the biggest obstacles to their employment are the fears of prospective employers, not their capabilities. I hope your post goes viral. Thank you for your brilliant insight!

I can’t even work at Target. Maybe you could share some advice with me. I’m 48 and have a bachelors in education. I lost my job teaching because of my bipolar disorder and PTSD. Thanks

Particularly appalling is that it takes 8 hours to get psychiatric help, but a half-hour to buy the gun. Stay safe, mama.
