Mental Health Support

Do you know how many famous people, especially creative people have this?

LOTS...and if, as you say, you have no psychosis, you're probably only bi-polar II

like me, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jane Pauley (she may be bipolar 1, actually)

Billy Joel tried to kill himself in his early twenties and did TWO stints in the mental hospital.

It's what inspired his song "Second Wind"..As you can see, he seems to have gone on to a rather

spectacular life since then...didn't hurt him a bit Do NOT worry about "labels" of any kind...Just concentrate on feeling better.

I've been where you are now, bro, and I KNOW how depression feels, but HOW you feel, rather

than whatever "label" you think you have, is what really counts...You're the same person you've always been.

I had a "breakdown" in my early twenties and they didn't have any decent

anti-depressants then, and I had to work it out in talk therapy and I DID and that sad person

I was became a distant memory...That was all like forty years ago, and I'm FINE now, feel good, no big problems, I'm sending

you all the best thoughts and wishes..
