Have you had a mental illness?
I put 'I think' because I was diagnosed with social anxiety and agorophobia in 2006, so I don't know how long a diganoses lasts.

Have you faced any discrimination for being mentally ill?
Yes, from my own family. Any fight my sister and I ever get in (since she found out) she brings it up, along with my history of self harming. With non family who know, and there are few, they just avoid the subject because they don't understand the agorophobia or panic attacks.

Are there any positive things you have learned from having a mental illness?
How to face problems, with the possiblity of having a panic attack I mean.

To you, everything's funny. - ♥ -
I'd give all I have, honey. - If you could stay like that.

Just try to never grow up. - ♫ - Never grow up.
