From Group Beyond Blue member, ML Walker:

Dear God: I know that you don’t put more on us than we can handle, but could you maybe like me a little less this week? I am always looking to feel the void in my life and learn how to be more social, but could I be blessed with more people that are not into head games but just living life the best they can?

I have now ventured out into the world and found that there are people that are a lot worse off than I am, so can you please work on them this week? And I do want to thank you for all that I have been blessed with in my life such– being able to have a job and go to work everyday, and having health care to treat my bipolar disorder. All in all, I guess I shouldn’t really get as upset as I do. I mean, after a lifetime of suffering with bipolar disorder, I am getting good at tolerating and living with it, so I guess that means you must either like me or think I am special. But I do want to thank you for a good doctor and places like this to go to, where people understand.
