Have you had a mental illness?
-severe depression
-PTSD
-psychotic NOS (illogical thinking)
-and i think i have EDNOS (was anorexic, now i'm just a mix)
Have you faced any discrimination for being mentally ill?
-not really. just a few stupid classmates, but that's ok
-i do get it from doctors sometimes though. i go in with a symptom and some obnoxious ones look at my meds and think i'm making it up or it's in my head
Are there any positive things you have learned from having a mental illness?
-i've learned a lot about how to take care of myself, and how to differentiate healthy thoughts from illogical ones. i feel like i've matured a lot as a person
