It's not all about me
One of the things I don't like about these illnesses is that my focus is so much on ME all the time. How am I feeling? What am I doing? Is this sadness or a depressive downturn? Am I happy or is this a manic upswing? So I try and ask my friends and co workers every day how THEY are, what is new in THEIR life. It gets me out of my own head to practice asking about other people every single day.

I do that, except I do it by helping people, the more i help and look after others, the less i have to help/deal with myself.
Its definitely a balance FH+L... we can often use helping others to zone out on our problems. I have to be careful of that especially in my job capacity...Good point...x
