Words Of the Wisdomless: Getting Help-
By Chato B. Stewart
Hi I'm Chato, I started making up quotes this during a group therapy I went to a few years ago. Each week before the group meeting I would make up a quote and write it on white board. Many of the group liked them so I thought why not blog them and have them for ever. Some were funny, others were particle, still other were just plane wisdomless. I hope one or two will move you, make you laugh or get some reaction other then leaving the blog.
I live with Bipolar disorder and he wont leave, even when i change the locks he always seems to get his own key.
I'm also a father of 4, I work for my self which is both good and bad. When I'm balanced I get a lot of work but when I'm down... well, you know the story.
I started a website in March 2008 to try and use humor and mental health to educate and heal.

As consumers we are blamed for not getting well by all who work with us. Social workers, case managers, psychologists, counselors: the majority of whom say that we "consumers" dont improve becasue we work against our medication ot treatment. Getting over ourselves is important but we are disempowered at every turn by professionals. We have became dependent on those who try to take care of us and they on us. We are responsible for our own recoveries however we need help in finding ourselves. Your quote is a thought provoking one. Thank you for reminding us that we are responsible for ourselves.
