I’ve been wanting to talk about self harming for a while now. It’s a problem, if that is the right word, that a lot of people who live with depression also have to live with. When I first thought about writing about this, I was going to do some research into the subject. But then …

The importance of friends.
Over the last few weeks, the importance of true friends has been highlighted to me. It got me thinking about what a friend is. My Mother when she was alive bless her, once told me when I was a fairly young child, that to have a friend, you have to be a friend and that …
Guilt! Shame! Hate! +++ A plethora of emotions!
