    As someone who suffers from anxiety and depression, but also considered fairly high functioning, Nat is right about how its one of the better feelings to let people know about what your going through rather then letting it consume you from inside. And it brought tears to my eyes about hearing how hes also suffered through it but found an avenue to get it out. Nat is a true treasure to this world

    I understand what he means about religious guilt. I used to pray for my relatives and friends to be safe at night, and if I accidentally left one out I was genuinely worried (and guilty) that something awful might happen. No one told me that was how it worked, that was just my childish understanding of it all. It's all a bit ironic because it is supposed to be about love but somehow it gets messed up and focuses on guilt and fear.

I mentioned that my mental health was down during the week and how great Lifeline was when i called a few years ago. I started something. I said if you need cry it is ok. One of the blokes just let it all out. He just had bottled up his mental health. I got his mobile phone and put the Lifeline number in it. I called him on Saturday and he was so thankful for giving him permission to let it out.
