Thanks, i agree - it is a room full of ill people, one way or another after all (myself included of course), but as you say, everyone contributes. Prejudices can prevent us from being open to what's there, and the experience strength and hope of the group.

Thanks for that - it's something i need to be aware of, i can often get a little resentment about someone and then disregard whatever they say, missing certain things which are more helpful or insightful.

I really like what you've said there. I remember being very angry at the world and it was a big part of my illness. Part of my journey has been realising it was me that needed to change. The world is certainly a different place than it was when things were at their worst!

Of course there are still things in the world i get angry about but that's another story!
