You had no choice in the matter

We have to fight the negativity

So much more in what way? More successful in society? But that assumes you should measure your worth as a person by how successful you are, that’s not right. I think every person with a mental health problem has a unique and human story to tell, and is a beautiful and worthwhile individual.

Feel the fear do it anyway

My old psychologist said to me one time, “If you don’t feel sorry for yourself, who will???”

When he said it I realized I was fighting hard against myself and trying not to permit certain feelings. I think he was telling me that we shouldn’t try to control our feelings, only our behavior.
