Lauren Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 So sure we all know that most the time its a load of b*ll s**t. But I know there is positives to it. Those talents and traits that wouldnt exist or would be no where near as tuned if it wasnt for your past struggles. So heres a few I can think of right now. * Great compassion. *An ability to read the slightest change in a persons moods/feelings. * Often very talented in one of the arts. * A high intellect appears more often in those inflicted with MI. *An ability to laugh at ourself's. *An ability to see the smallest glimpse of something good or amazing. Feel free to add more! L xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyMacbeth Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 I can add to that from what I see in myself and from what I can see from some of you. *We have the ability to feel the pain of others *We desire to help others because we know how it feels when people care. *Honestly and loyalty *Intelligence *Expressive especially in art and writing. *The ability to understand our emotions. *The desire to feel normal * (Like you expressed Lorna) Compassion Baila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calyps Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 I always get told that I don't think outside of the box so much as the box I think in hasn't been identified yet. So I would like to add that we have the ability to provide a unique perspective to all the wonderful things already written. Anwen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunnyWabbit Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 It means not thinking like everyone else, having your own thoughts, being an independent thinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 I agree with all of those - especially **An ability to see the smallest glimpse of something good or amazing** - I think thier is a higher standing for Compassion/Love/Feelings in a person with a MI. - I also know that without my MI I wouldnt LIVE IN THE MOMENT AND APPRECIATE EVERY MOMENT - (this has come with Dbt trianing) **good post- im looking forward to seei g what other say** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
