Have you had a mental illness?
I had anorexia a few years back. I was never diagnosed but I can say with much certainty that I had it. I also think I may have minor OCD. I'm not sure about others but I've often thought I have bipolar but I'm not really sure.

Have you faced any discrimination for being mentally ill?
When I mention my fears and concerns about the possibilties of having these illnesses, I get told I'm stupid and laughed at.

Are there any positive things you have learned from having a mental illness?
Not to judge. To realise that people will mental illnesses are just normal people.

Ever mind the Rule of Three: Three times what thou givest returns to thee: This lesson well, thou must learn: Thee only gets what thou dost earn.
