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'm also happy to "officially" announce my participation in this year's DBSA STAND-UP COMEDY WITH DAVID GRANIRER (SATURDAY, MAY 21, 7:30 pm. – 9:00 p.m.) David Granirer is a stand-up comic and founder of Stand Up for Mental Health. A consumer who lives with Depression, he is also a counselor, speaker, and author. All participants take his customized correspondent stand-up class via conference calls, e-mail, and Skype. This way when all us Newbies get up on stage, we won't bomb too badly!
Are you going to the DBSA conference? Don't miss the presentation in the comedy show! Make sure you let me know you'll be there, maybe we can meet up for a cup of coffee.
