World Mental Health Day

Is anyone else wondering like me what is the point of World Mental Health Day?

  • Thanks Tom and Vometia for your comments. I am a bit "tired and emotional" this evening so apologise if my response tonight is offensive in any way. I feel very emotional that anyone can empathise with the way I think and feel so thanks for that.

    Vometia I have been accused of being mysogenist in the past. Even told I was a Rat. Now that confused me a lot (which may have been deliberate as I was on a councelling course at the time) but it upset me a lot at the time. I love women and am definitely hetrosexual so if I say anything offensive please tell me you are offended and why. I recognise my autism may cause me to say the wrong thing or in a wrong way.

    I would very much like to continue to speak to you and Tom in the future so I want to try and get the basis of a relationship right. I am aware I have lied in the past to try to avoid humiliation when I knew I was in the wrong and tried to lie my way out of it. PDA I now recognise is a symptom of my autism. So this online relationship with new people who have similar views to mine is causing a very emotional reaction in me. But scary at the same time.  Am I being authentic or just lying to get attention? On my councelling course which was person centred councelling, the princilple aims were congruence and unconditional love. I failed because I could see through the acting which was going on. I cannot act. I have been told you need to learn to act. But I don't know how to I have never learnt that social skill.

    So if I fail to respond correctly please give me some feedback so I can learn.

    Thanks for your responses, take care Laddie.
