- Have you had a mental illness?
Yes, I have and do have a form of GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder)
- Have you faced any discrimination for being mentally ill?
Not discrimination but for me it is extremely embarressing if I go into an anxiety attack in public. I'm normally around people who realize whats happening and get me someplace quiet to deal with it but it's still rather humiliating. I tend to have issues with breathing, and controlling the movements of my hands when I have an attack.
- Are there any positive things you have learned from having a mental illness?
I've learnt who I can trust, and who is there who can help me. Also that I don't have to deal with it completely on my own.
