I think a lot of us suffer more from how we have been hurt by others than we do from our mental illness. And how hard it is to find a friend who will understand. How often we lose friends because our need for them is more than they can bear.

 

Pain like ours cannot be felt by others.
Empathy’s impossible.
We need the compassion
of someone who knows.

Go to Jesus!
Don’t forget the friend you have in him.
He knows what you’re going through.
He himself has been there.
