I am very greatful for my mental health, and it is not something I am usually aware of because I have always been a happy go lucky person, that is not to say that I have not had things happened that have knocked me down, but I usually am pretty upbeat and a happy person. The other day I was on facebook and I read a post by a past client linking it to her wordpress. It shook me to my core to see how she struggled almost daily just to be, she said there always a point in the day that it is a struggle. She almost ended her life. It broke my heart, she has a good family, a good home, and a good husband but it for her it is still not enough she has a diease, even with medication it is a struggle. I pray for her and all of the people with some kind of mental illness and depression. I am very thankful for my mental health.
Yolanda,
There is so much to many that does not meet the eye right away. Sorry to hear about your friend, glad you and Bob are happy. A

Mental health issues are often devastating to those who suffer from them, and those who surround and love them. I feel we are woefully inadequate in addressing these kinds of issues in this country. We need to improve.

Yolanda- You've brought up something that we all often forget about, yet it's just as important as our physical health. I too am glad that you do not suffer from this.

That is a very good thing to be thankful for, as mental health is a serious problem for so many these days. My family has certainly been touched by it and it is very sad to see that the resources for help don't seem to exist.

I love you attitude, Yolanda and those around you know you are upbeat and enjoy life. It is sad to see others that are in a bad place mentally.
Hi Yolanda - you're right, we don't often think about our mental health, and that it's a gift not to need to fight to keep depression or addictions at bay. I'm adding that to my thankfulness today.
