Have you had a mental illness?
Yes, I have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, Major Depression (This was changed to Mood Disorder NOS but when I switched psychs I was told that my paperwork said Major Depression), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. However, after a recent event, my psychiatrist thinks it is possible that I have Panic Disorder.
Have you faced any discrimination for being mentally ill?
I really have not told anyone except for a very select few. The only discrimination I found was from my dad.
Are there any positive things you have learned from having a mental illness?
I have learned a good understanding of mental illnesses and what little control people actually have over them.
