If you have mental health problems don't be ashamed of it. If you had a broken leg or diabetes you wouldn't be ashamed. Mental health problems are just another illness. Hold your head up high, you have a debilitating illness which is not your fault. You cope with it the best way you can. When the good days come enjoy them to the full. As much as possible be in the company of people. We all need each other. Try to put some routine into your days and don't sleep in, it makes the problem worse.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
