i mean every now and then i take stock and think of others. some are you, other members who had it tough, people struggling around the world that i don't know. i think, well i have a dingy government house, falling apart but it is dry. i have power. people in this day and age still live without it, some quite well but in other countries it is different. i have running water. hot, cold. i have a phone, the internet and skype. i mean i had not much growing up, so my computer and the intro of skype recently has been my glorious eternal gift. people would kill for water or food. really, i know i don't get and have stuff all money but i do eat, can still get medication and treatment.ok we wait, but it happens. we have the flying dr. trauma flights, surf rescue, bush rescue services and first aid volunteers at major sporting events. ok, where i live the mental health system is well, that word, but at least we have one.
xmas, most people are unaware of it's origins. i'm spiritual not religious, but i know what it is about. now it is a commercial entity. sorry, what does this have to do with anxiety and panic? yeah i hear ya. but i just felt like expressing myself. i just feel that maybe we need to take a little moment to reflect on what we do have.
ps i am aware of what i have said about our decrepit mental health system in another thread, still saying this i am fortunate enough that one exists. the word service provision or community based treatment and the alike do not exist in some parts of the world. i mean my system sucks big time. but it does keep people alive......even though 3 days later your back out.
