Ditto! When I discovered this place, I was amazed at the bond I felt instantly to *everyone*. No one understands my battle with depression like the people here. No one! This is a place where I can talk about hearing voices or freaking out over something stupid without feeling one trace of negativity in response. Its unbelievable. Just the fact that everyone tried so-o-o hard with fires is a testament to that. He has a bond with us whether he (or we) like it or not. We all share a common problem that is not looked on sympathetically by society. We have to fight just to stay alive while society thinks we're crazy or just trying to get attention. We all have hit a brick wall at some time or another, and we are all fighting to change that.
I think everybody here is a hero in one way or another. I wonder how many people would have a fraction of the strength I've witnessed here if they were in the same position.
We are all human and can and will make mistakes. But underneath it all we are all brothers and sisters challanging the way society regards mental illness, and no one can ever take that away from us.
