A place to get together and chat about mental illness or about whatever is on your mind. |
First I just want to say that it is fantastic to see this forum in use again and to read all your introductions. My story is not very interesting. My problems have always been self manageable. Well with the consumption of one or sometimes two family sized bars of chocolate. My feelings on my issues is that it is caused by myself in giving in to negative thoughts and letting them rule my mind and that only my mastery of them, and correction in a more positive direction, can fix it. In my mind, medication can only treat the symptoms and not fix the problem. But that's just my way of dealing with things. And I don't think comfort eating a large bar of chocolate each time a person feels down is a good solution as usually it would lead to putting on weight, which could make matters worse, so don't think I'm in anyway suggesting it as a viable solution. Luckily, I get a lot of exercise to balance out the calorie intake, so it works for me. Just don't mention the high sugar intake and the increased chances of diabetes in later life... Anyway, hello all. And I would love to donate for a lovely gift for Itchy. I think it is a fantastic idea. Have fun all! ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Please visit Robin my rising star.
