Re: Do you have a mental illness? - December 20th 2010, 06:47 PM

I'm gonna answer the questions cause I'm cool


Have you had a mental illness?
Diagnosed and on meds for depression, however I wish you could pick more than on option cause I also think I have a few... other things, or at least not Depression but something else contributing to my fun little issues, I was just not very honest with the doctor because my mom was there

Have you faced any discrimination for being mentally ill?
Yeah, people don't trust Schizophrenia. Yeah, the voices are telling me to kill you -.-

Are there any positive things you have learned from having a mental illness?
I honestly think it's hard not to, whether people realize it or not. Having one, or being diagnosed with one DOES change you, for better or for worse. And be able to deal with it makes you stronger in every way. It makes you who you are... and honestly, some days I'm glad I deal with the stuff I do, it's made me who I am, someone who's hell bent on "changing the world" It's my driving factor and motivation... Other days I hate it



Take me seriously.
I dare you.
