Re: Do you have a mental illness? - August 20th 2011, 04:15 AM

Have you had a mental illness?
Yes. I was diagnosed with Major Depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and they're studying me for Bipolar. I have also diagnosed myself with EDNOS.

Have you faced any discrimination for being mentally ill?
Yes. I've gotten made fun of for being "too organized", I've gotten made of for self-harm, I've also gotten made fun of for going to therapy.. It's been tough..

Are there any positive things you have learned from having a mental illness?
Never judge someone because you never know what they're going through. Since I experienced so much discrimination for being mentally ill, I realized that I shouldn't judge other people..

I also realized through group therapy that I'm not alone and there are other people who feel the way that I do..
