I am mildly bi-polar. Last week was a bad one. I had lots of anxiety. Usually I am very philosophical about life and not a care worries me. I don't have a lot of money but enjoy managing on what I have. So I am going merrily on through life when, suddenly "WHAM" the anxiety gets me and I have to retire to bed and let the world pass by. My family were great and just let me do my own thing until it lifted. What a stupid useless thing this anxiety is. Feeling like that doesn't do any good at all. But sometimes it comes and knocks me off course. Do you have a problem like this? Can you tell me what you suggest to help?
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...
