Re: Having a bad day, so I wrote us a poem!

[Guest guest]

,

I am glad that you are feeling better, really I do. This is the reality that we

are all looking for, but not everyone is at that stage. It would be great to

feel like Ron Livingston in the movie Office Space when he is hypnotized and

life seems beautiful until he snaps out of it. Reality is other, sounds, even

in " normal " people can be bothersome in ocassions. This is one of our outlets,

because we do indeed suffer everyday and no there is no magic solution to this

problem. If there were, I would have gone to the extent needed to find it.

This group is a support group. We feel already attacked by the world, we find

comfort and yes a positive outlook in participating in this group. I personally

would not like to feel opressed in a group setting that has become a safe

environment for me. I have enough of the opposite in the outside world.

Good luck to you.
