I laugh so hard, I have to catch my breath.
I cry so hard, I’ve half a lung left.
I love in the manner of water filling space.
I run like hell, but never win the race.
My daily mantra:
You are not alone.
You are not a strange or broken thing.
Your feelings are human.
You are not worthless.
You are stronger than you feel right now.
You will make it through this.
You are not alone. 
The name itself of your blog, says it all- the blog for others. Looking forward to a lot more.

Thank you for following my blog and thus letting me find yours. I have not been very ‘inspired’ of late, but I hope that you find words that cause you to ponder. I’ll take a look around and I hope we can share words that will cause further inspiration. Charles

I am so lucky to have found your blog via a comment you left on mine. I’m sorry you’ve struggled through life also, but able to express your feelings and emotions through writing and poetry, which for me is cathartic and having an outlet such as a blog is invaluable. Stay strong and keep posting your beautiful words. As your blog header says, “You are not alone”. Lovely and comforting. Deb

Hi Savio, this is an anonymous blog, so you can call me Opera or Operahell. Unfortunately, the stigma surrounding mental illness makes anonymity necessary to protect myself and my career. I hope that won’t put you off from reading my blog, thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day as well 🙂

Oh no, not a problem at all. Opera is good 🙂
