- Have you had a mental illness?
At points, I have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (recurrant episodes), Social Anxiety Disorder (which is in remission), General Anxiety Disorder (in partial remission) and Bulimia Nervosa.
- Have you faced any discrimination for being mentally ill?
Nothing blatant or huge.
- Are there any positive things you have learned from having a mental illness?
Mhm. It's made me spend a LOT of effort in improving communication lines with everyone around me and I've benefited a lot from that. I've also met people that I wouldn't otherwise meet from all walks of life and have made some very very good friends because of our shared experiences and struggles.
