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.

Words Of The Wisdomless: Names - By Chato B Stewart
"I think Bipolar is misnamed! Yes, the description of two mood spectrums from mania to depression may fit for some. But, whatever happened to normal? Shouldn't it be renamed as TRI-polar to include the normal mood. I don't know about you, but I've met a lot of so called normal people. They all were are bit nutty to me! I say 'normal' is the new crazy!"- by Chato B. Stewart

Words Of The Wisdomless: Friendship
"Today a FaceBook friend sent me a nice quote - "Friends are like walls. Sometimes you lean on them, and sometimes its just enough to know they're there."
Yes, I had four friends like walls, BUT... I had to knock them down!!! I was getting too claustrophobic.
.- Chato B. Stewart
Claustrophobia (from Latin claustrum "a shut in place" and Greek φόβος, phóbos, "fear") is the fear of having no escape and being closed in. Claustrophobia is not a clinical diagnosis and the technical term for these symptoms is Agoraphobia. It is typically classified as an anxiety disorder and often results in panic attack. One study indicates that anywhere from 5–7% of the world population is affected by severe claustrophobia, but only a small percentage of these people receive some kind of treatment for the disorder.

Words Of The Wisdomless: Build
"It is never what you do that makes people remember you, it's who you do it to that makes it for ever. It can come back to bite you and knock you down or build you up and put you in the clouds. Be the builder not the wrecking ball."
As a Mental Health Advocate each year for I try and make an extra effort to bring awareness to Mental Health during the month of May. This will be the 3rd year that I will do the Cartoon-A-Thon. This is when I draw 31 cartoons about mental health and post them on the site http://mentalhealthcartoons.com
Last year we had a record number of visitors with over 22,823 unique visits just in May 2009. Over the past year the site has attracted 115,161 peers, providers and caregivers from around the world.
It bring me so much joy that their are so many that like the cartoon enough to keep coming back and even using them in newsletter, book, magazines, blogs and websites.
As an amateur Cartoonist and peer living with Bipolar Disorder doing the Mental Health Humor Cartoons has been my own art therapy and a labor of love.
Over that past year I've been teaching myself to draw caricatures. This year for the Cartoon-A-Thon we are going to draw 31 caricatures of sponsor and people working hard in the mental health community far and wide.
If you want to be part of the cartoon-A-Thon now to reserve your day of the month.

Words Of the Wisdomless:- Smart Goals
"It is better to make goals you CAN'T reach then NOT to make any goal at all! At least you'll be thinking of doing something, and that is ALWAYS better then doing nothing all. Now, that is smart goal setting."
Short term goals can be as simple as getting out of the house every day for a a few minuets. Or doing small projects. Long term goals can be set by the months or the years or not time limit at all.
The main "goal" of setting goals, is to give us focus and purpose in our daily actions. Just remember some goals might be unattainable so keep them realistic. This will help you avoid any disappointment is you don't reach them. For example, if our goal is to have supper powers, I'm sorry but that won't happen. On the other hand, if our goal is to get a job, or if you like sports you can set a 95 yard soccer goal well, that may be more attainable.
Setting goal is a great coping skill, especially when they are simple goals. Here are a few sample goals objectives.
- To get up early
- Make one call / letter / e-mail to a friend.
- Clean (this or that)


The ideas is not just achieving goals, rather by setting goals and objectives it will help us stay focused on our recovery.
As I said before smart goal setting does not have to be complicated. For example, I set a goal to make up a quote about goals and write something about goals. I just successfully completed two goals! What goals will you set?
