Have you had a mental illness?
Yes; I was diagnosed as bipolar three years ago. I was also diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive tendencies, although I don't know if I explained everything to my therapist.

Have you faced any discrimination for being mentally ill?
No, but I don't talk about it much; I've got better things to do.

Are there any positive things you have learned from having a mental illness?
Yes. I've learned that I'm a lot stronger than I used to believe.
