I've since written two books about coping with the disorder. I guess you could say I'm way way out of the closet now!<br /><br />I'm going to sport this badge on my site and link to your brave post. <br /><br />Cheers!<br />UttleyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13709045790350588323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622820281827881345.post-51719202138696447542012-08-18T20:30:08.761+01:002012-08-18T20:30:08.761+01:00Laura, thanks for researching, reading and saying ...Laura, thanks for researching, reading and saying hi; please come and introduce yourself after my talk, I'd love to chat.LLM Callinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199375981896229914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622820281827881345.post-62297504730696771452012-08-18T18:51:50.635+01:002012-08-18T18:51:50.635+01:00Hi, I just discovered your blog while figuring out...Hi, I just discovered your blog while figuring out who I'll be coming to see at Greenbelt this year. <br />Thank you for your pledge to keep talking about mental health. <br />Have enjoyed reading through some of your past posts and regardless of what you might be talking about at GB2012 I will attempt to be there... <br />Being open about my own mental health problems has caused me no end of problems over the years, most recently in the last couple of weeks being accused of not being a capable/caring youth worker just because I battle with depression. <br />Knowing that there's others like you out there talking about it, hopefully we're getting somewhere to beating stigma/discrimination, slowly but surely! <br />Take care, <br />Laura On The Wayhttp://www.thinking-about-leaving.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622820281827881345.post-21785143771358680802012-02-27T21:06:28.258+00:002012-02-27T21:06:28.258+00:00It is so important to know there are people prepar...It is so important to know there are people prepared to talk - and to listen, as you say, without judgment.<br /><br />I recently curated an online exhibition of work by writers and artists talking about their lowest moments, in the hope others would read and feel less alone http://eightcuts.com/eight-cuts-gallery/what-there-is-instead-of-rainbows/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622820281827881345.post-43159444011054352322012-01-16T11:27:29.044+00:002012-01-16T11:27:29.044+00:00I really agree with this--we need to take the stig...I really agree with this--we need to take the stigma away from Mental Health. More and more people are speaking up about it, which is the momentum that has signalled the change in many movements. Let's hope this continues. Great post, very thought provoking.Michellouihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841678308675092702noreply@blogger.com
