I thougth it was great to see so many members share their life
story. I know in most cases we only touched on the high lights and
that there is so much more to it. But we got a start on it.
Next month one of the area PPS Support Groups is having a speaker on
Depression. I am very much looking forward to going and hearing the
speaker. I have always felt that many of us Polio Survivors have
had experience with depression,anxiety, and PTSD and rightly so
after all we have been through. In many cases when people think
mental health issue they are uncomfortable admitting or sharing what
they have or are going through. I think we would be surprised if we
knew how many share similar experiences. I look forward to sharing
with you what I hear and learn from the meeting. I myself am a firm
believe in having a strong mind but also a healty one and sometimes
a little help from a friend goes a long way. So don't forget you
have friends here and there are also good counseling services
available through your health care agencies.

Have a great weekend friends and hope to see you in Chat
Be healthy and pain free
