I Love Life

[nailit]

About 18 months ago I was on my 'arris and in a psych hospital with suicidal depression after nearly jumping off a bridge. After been released I was on meds and receiving mental health care.

Today I am on no meds, discharged from mental health services, working as a volunteer with paid work in the pipeline (that's a bit slow in coming...)
Theres been ups and downs along the way but today I can honestly say that I love life.
I love waking up in the morning, I love been of use to something other than myself, I love just BEING!

Maybe my mums illness has made me think a bit, I don't know, but just been alive is amazing to me.
Just pondering here...

Not a question as such, just pondering.

[nailit]

Thanks for additional replies :-)
I don't understand this thing about the afterlife tho?
Why cant people be happy to be alive here and now? Why wait to be happy?

The post @ 21:11 does make me doubt the veracity of the OP tbh.

[Barmaid]

That really is a cracking post, Nailit. And I know precisely where you are coming from.

2.5 years ago i was in a terrible place in every way imaginable. Now I am happier than I have ever been.

Why Baldric?
As far as I know, this is the only life we have.
