A blog for those who are of a different mind about the world, and for their friends and families
Introduction
Hi, there. Thanks for visiting. I'm starting this blog as an advocate for mental and physical health. I'm a freelance writer and also own a home based medical transcription business. I was diagnosed in 1978 with paranoid schizophrenia and started to become acutely ill three years prior to that, unmedicated, frightened, confused, and in trouble with the law. I graduated from university with distinction the year I became ill. I've never regretted learning how to think at university. I struggled with my illness for 35 years and have reached the top of the mountain now, I think, or the other side, where the grass is greener and the path easier. There's hope for all of us, the whole human race, and never think there isn't hope or joy no matter your circumstances. I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences with mental illness in all its forms: depression, brain injury, autism, schizophrenia, bipolar, anxiety disorders, etc. and your positive experiences as well as those lies and half truths society and even therapists would have us believe about ourselves.
We are different folks, and we are beautiful. The whole human race is beautiful. Let's celebrate life.

Welcome
Wow, I have another follower! Welcome, Bob. You're a regular contributor to the comments and I much appreciate that. I like comments. Maybe if I had too many or the wrong kind I wouldn't like comments. But right now I like comments.
Welcome, Bob! We're small but mighty here at Different Folks. I look forward to your comments!
