> Are you sad, maybe, b/c Dr. Bob said not to give him a present? I know it was something you were putting a lot of excited energy into.
No, I'm not sad because of that. I thought he did a really good job of telling me not to make him a gift without hurting my feelings.
> I think you have a lot of GREAT qualities, Deneb! You seem energetic, fun, dedicated, kind to your family and pets.
Thanks JenStar! I think you have great qualities too. You're supportive, calm and collected, wise, fun and have interesting ideas.
> I wish that society in general was more supportive of mental illness, because SO many of us suffer from it in one form or another, and the stigma attached in many countries makes us feel ashamed of it, even when we know we shouldn't have to feel that way.
I wish I could say I'm not ashamed, but I am. I can't even start to associate that word, m***** illness with myself in any way. I just can't.
> We just need to figure out the best way to handle them so we can live the best life possible for ourselves.
I think that's a very good way to think about this subject.

> At least that's how I feel on my optimistic days (of which today is one.) Have a great day, Deneb! :)I'm happy you're feeling optimistic! You have a good day too! :o)
