Your very right RCB.
Speaking personaly, Ihad been on a totally even keel all of my adult life.
One day my kidney went belly up, damn near killed me,
Came out of hospitol. And wife was seeing someone.
Bad week.
Bad few months..
You get through it, you get over it, you move on, but you're not the same carefree person for a long time.
I would have ticked a lot of boxes, that define mental illness for a few months.
It got a bit bleak in there.
I guess thats why I empathise with people who have a tough time.
It's still pretty fresh in my mind, just how grimm it can get.
But get help if you need to. There's no sense in suffering.
Well said RCB
