bus

hah, i was just thinking...what do i like? what has been inspiring, helpful, etc? given that i'm a book-worm, i would have to take over the entire thread... :tongue: so, i'm just going to list what i'm reading currently that i like: Jean Vanier: "Becoming Human" (this has to be the most beautiful bo...

:1groupflip: :star: I offered and gave my seat in a cafe to a lady who I saw would have trouble using a stool :star: making a big list for a friend to help her brainstom I've also been reading an amazing book - "Becoming Human" by Jean Vanier, and wanted to share a wee passage: What is important is ...

well, i can't figure out how to put up pictures on BUS :o help? I think it would be great if a whole bunch of people got together and just did something wacky and nice - whether it's putting posters up around town with a neat message, or just did random kind things around town... ...maybe be the 'ho...

I have always loved interesting, funny and thought-provoking graffiti in washrooms! I've felt bad about 'vandalizing property' but I often get a kick out of those funny messages on the walls, I think it's worth it! That was often a highlight of my day, when I was feeling really alone and down! Someo...

awesome guys! always nice to see people doing kind things too! :D I've been kinda in the gutter lately, but today I can say I spent a couple hours on the phone with a friend who's quite alone and grieving, and I'm glad I could help that way at least :) And also all the people who showed some kindnes...

I wish I could figure out some meaning for my existence that I could truly and consistently believe and work with

I wish there wasn't so much pain and suffering in the world

* I decided that instead of being angry at being woken up at 3am I would get up and talk to my friend who was having a really hard time

Awesome! I totally forgot to post one myself! D'uh! Today I got a few things together to get my friend through the day food-wise (healthy snacks) as she is spending the whole day with her friend in the hospital. I also went to sleep yesterday at a somehwhat decent hour (kindness to myself hehe) :D N...

"Random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty" I've often noticed when I was doing badly, just doing something tiny to step out of my pain and do something nice/kind for someone else, no matter how tiny, has lifted my mood and got me to feel better about myself. I don't mean saving the world...

Thanks Whit, not sure what to say right now...just kinda...going through the day... I did read a poem that I wanted to add....as I lack words today: Do not stand at my grave and weep Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond ...

hi everyone, thanks kelsta well today, technically (since it's after midnight), is exactly 2 years since A. killed herself. I can't believe it's been 2 years - it feels like yesterday, and yet it feels so far away at the same time. Not sure if that makes sense. Time feels warped with this. I haven't...

Thanks Seeshellz and Sar for your comments. Seeshellz you're right, I havent' really dealt with it - haven't really spoken much about it except to her father, and him I've had to support, because he was a worse mess than I was (understandably - to lose a child, that's got to be one of the hardest th...

I'm kind of surprised I'm writing this - I haven't felt this bad in quite a long time - I've been doing well, haven't SI'd at all in over 1.5 years, gotten my life back together.... ..but then this past week I've been feeling really down, getting thoughts of SI and SU - thinking, what the heck is al...

just a note: there's lot of info, by doctors and pdocs themselves, on WHY and HOW to get off these drugs off the top of my head: Peter R. Breggin and David Cohen.: Your Drug May Be Your Problem: How and Why to Stop Taking Psychiatric Medications. Joseph Glenmullen: The Antidepressant Solution: A Ste...
