I've need diagnosed with depression with suicidal and self harming tendencies as well as general and social anxiety, but at times anorexia, bulimia, emotional intensity disorder/borderline personality disorder and a couple of others have been thrown around.

Stigma - a lot. I've been called almost every name under the sun, I've lost friends because their parents told them to stay away from me, I was forced to move schools because the teachers told me I was making the rest of the school ill. And of course the random people in the street witnessing a panic attack and/or minor breakdown/paranoid symptoms can't help but tell their children that I'm dangerous. And my parents refusal to admit I was I'll despite a hospital admission.

I've learned that yu can't tell what someone is thinking or feeling by looking at them, and that what s on the outside may not be the truth.
