Educating ones self is the way to "snap" on it ! Support "ending the stigma" attached to mental illness today !!
I can honestly say, as one who has Bipolar 2 disorder, that "mental illness" is no picnic with lots of compassion and understanding from others holding its weight in gold towards one who suffers from a mental illness.
There is a young girl who I have know for a couple of years, who also suffers from mental illness, if I would have given up on her we wouldn't be friends today. Accepting and supporting can go a long way with some ....
I am almost ready to give in to all this weight I have gained from medications. It is pretty overwhelming to have gained 60 lbs in the past two years, never mind trying to think about how I am going to loose it. I have been fixated about the weight I have gained. It gets me down.
Thank goodness I have a friend who I can get out and walk with almost every day. I might not be loosing any weight, however I am trying to stay "fit & healthy", and that just has to count for something. I am hoping by this Summer I can begin loosing some of the weight I have gained.
I am seriously thinking about not going to my family reunion this Year, as the one last Year I had a cousin bring about my weight gain. I am not certain I want to attend if I haven't lost any weight by then. Time will tell.
Usually if a person had never had a weight problem it would be safe to assume there must be issues if there has been a noticeable weight gain whether it be stress or medications (in my case both). I hope I am kind enough towards others to see this myself. I would hate to ever intentionally hurt someones feelings, and surely would not go out of my way to if I could help myself.
Kindness goes a long way, does it not?
