Take Me As I Am

“After a lifetime of living with a mental illness, I’ve discovered that the most helpful thing someone can say to me when I’m suffering is, ‘Tell me where it hurts,’” she explains. “I don’t want advice. I don’t want to be cheered up. I just want to be listened to and truly heard. The pain is much more bearable when I’m allowed to open up and share it.”

This is beautiful ❤️ I have bipolar 2 and love to sing and play my ukulele. I should write a song for myself like you did. Thanks for the inspiration. I’m going to dance around to your song now! So much beauty comes from the illness I think…light and dark… it’s hard and also I think maybe we have some special things to bring to the world with our different brains. 🙏 🤗

Lovely thank you for that perfect message beautifully played and sung:)
