How on earth do you people cope?

[TelstarMIDIParticipant]

I’ll say it again…  How on earth do you people cope? Now I am a sufferer… I must be a nightmare to live with… I stress out so easily… I’m sorry, truly sorry for the anguish that sufferers like me cause… It’s a nightmare all around…

Mental illness ruins lives… We struggle to fit into a very uncaring world. People blame each other for everything. It’s always someone’s fault… Why can’t people be more nice to each other. I’m not the only one here… I’m not here to make you happy… It’s not down to me to keep the peace here…

Anymore than you are… You have an absolute right to let rip, swear and shout sometimes. You are a human being, with the same rights as everyone else on this crazy planet.

The greedy take everything you have, until you burn out, and they move on to their next victim…

I have no more to give… It is all gone now… I’m seen as selfish… By the very people who took it all away from me… All I had to give…

Does this sound familiar to you? So…

If you are a giver, mind your limits… Because the ‘takers’ don’t have any….

And we all know ‘takers’

Unfortunately… When you have no more to give them, they have the audacity to make you and I feel guilty!!!!

We will survive, we have to, for our own sake. I hope it will all be worth it in the end…  Faith suggests that will, and right now it is:  Faith… Hope… And Love…. The most important of all, ❤️ ❤️ Love….

So let’s do that then…
