Learn as much as you can about your mental illness, as there is a lot of bullshit out there.

Being educated is important :)

There is such thing as being too honest, ...be it with experience, facts or opinions!

Another most valuable lesson: The benefit of being in the present moment is being able to be more attuned to your body and giving it what it needs to not just survive but thrive.

I am noticing big improvements with my physical well being because I am more aware of when I am thirsty, hungry, need rest, or need to decompress from stress.

It is never too late to start over. There is always hope. Life can be good and fulfilling. All I have to do is go after the things that will make the difference.

When it comes to mental health, honesty is very necessary, it can mean life or death.

The past is hurtful and painful, but the present and the future don't have to be.

There are 24 hours in a day, so, even if it appears I'm not going to be functional at the beginning, I should just wait because normally, at some other point in the day, I manage to get myself together.

 

[Whitneys story]

Rarely are things as they first appear to be. It is like the 5 second rule. We see or read something, re-read and see if it has the same meaning the second time.

It is amazing how many anxiety attacks I have subdued using this.

 

[Shellbell]

Don't marry someone until after you've had therapy. It's really easy to pick the wrong person when you're really messed up :(

Good one, Shellbell. :tup:



Take at least one hour a day and do something just for you, and make sure you do not spend it worrying about your troubles.
