Helping others and putting other people first is rather unfashionable these days, sadly. But it is also true to say that when you have a mental health problem, especially depression, it makes you less able to 'look out' and see the needs of others. This is not because you don't want to it's because you can't.
An anonymous poster has asked to link into my blog as s/he feels it may help others who read their posts. I hope so too.
Life is very tough and uncertain right now for me, and that is putting it mildly. However, if this is of some help to others I would be delighted and would welcome comments and feedback - it helps one to feel less alone.
Despite how I feel, which is probably less than 1 out of 10 right now, I would like to help others. And to be quite honest I'd like others to help me too.
