Have you had a mental illness?

diagnosed with OCD, SAD, GAD, bipolar


Have you faced any discrimination for being mentally ill?

yes, people turn away when they find out I am under psychiatric treatment.
I almost lost my friend due to their parents finding out I am under treatment
thinking I might harm their family.


Are there any positive things you have learned from having a mental illness?

Nothing, I have achieved nothing and gained nothing though it has significantly helped reduce my anxiety disorder the toll my body took was quite equal. I have hazy memory, always confused, always tired, I am really having a hard time recalling memories. Though I am taking my meds as prescribed till now, It doesn't really help much. I can't function well.

I am discontinuing my meds without my doctors consent, I wan't to get my mind back straight. This condition is a curse I have never done anything bad,
I don't deserver to be like this
