Have you had a mental illness?


Yes, sort of. I was recently diagnosed with Dysthymia (Chronic Depression) by a counsellor/ psychologist at my college. But, I've had ADD for 10 or so years now.


Have you faced any discrimination for being mentally I'll?


Not really because only a few people know.


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


Not really, but now I understand what others are going through because I'm going through the same thing or have the same issues. I honestly don't see any positives out of having ADD and Dysthymia. I feel low all the time because of the Dysthymia. I feel stupid because I have ADD and I have to take meds for it.
