[QUOTE="Christoph1945, post: 5870476, member: 42426"] The Daily Mail isn't perhaps the country's favourite read but it does from time to time print some interesting articles and also does some good work for worthy causes. Saturday's copy of the Saturday Mail carried an article by James Middleton (yes that James Middleton) describing his battles with mental illness and I score it as well worth reading. James took no payment for the article and insisted that any monies be donated to 'Pets as therapy' and 'Heads Together'. Way back when I hit my lowest low I thought that wealth, better education, position, and a host of other things could perhaps have saved me from that decent into the deepest depression that you would have trouble imagining. But during those times I met the well educated, the well off, and people of standing, who were all in a similar boat to my self. Depression / mental illness, somewhat like the plague, is not selective and it infects it's victims amongst the young, the old, the rich, the poor, the sick and the well, and differentiates not between male and female. Or is it 'perhaps' selective and there are only certain ones amongst us who will be susceptible to it's bite? Could much of it be down to body chemistry, diet, and perhaps thought patterns / emotions? The essential thing to know is that there is a way through and it is survivable. In the storms of life it is it is helpful to have an anchor but when the poop really hits the fan lets not forget that there are those that will answer our cries for help and support us in our hours of need. Stay safe, stay well, and don't ever be too afraid, or embarrassed, to ask for help. Chris :) [/QUOTE]
