Subject: RE: mentally ill club regulars
there are two sides to every theory, you have to back one or the other, as a sufferer, yes i mean sufferer, i see things one way ie i try to live my life as i should , but am aware that there are times when i cant, on the other hand there are people who think they have the god given right to say that oh you gotta problem, go else where, its no good bleating on about oh you are ill so i will be seen as a sympathetic caring sort of person who if you are lucky, i might even sit next to you , hell i mght even talk to you, oh look how good i am, and post threads to that . then there is the other side that says no looney, not on my watch, and then post threads to that general view, fine i can see both points , but however there is the middle road that gets missed, that is, ah that person has a problem, what can i do to find out more, in what way can i make a real difference, if you are uncomfortable with mental ill health, then look at what makes you uncomfortable and deal with it, sadly too many folkies seem to think that folk in all its forms is a purist area and only those that fit in and comply can have anything to do with it, god no wonder folk is seen as the poor relation in the entertainment world, folk is about people, good bad, black , white male female ill and well, not about some atificially set up area of music where only the best can join in.
