If you're living with a mental illness of any kind whether it be Bi-Polar, Depression, PTSD, Dyslexia, or even if you're like me and have anxiety it can get really sometimes, obviously some mental illnesses aren't as serious as others but I'd like to take this time to share some stories (good or bad) that have happened to you guys.
It can be a real pain to live with and its frustrating when people don't understand. For those who don't know I have anxiety and I suffered depression but I would rather not go into that.
So I guess this is a support thread or something I'm not sure. Ask advice on here or stuff like that feel free to say whatever you want that isn't insults or abuse
What mental Illness do you have if any that you suffer from the most?
you know, especially with depression, you can have it and just have it go away. People feel depressed quite often. And sometimes it lasts months and gets diagnosed as a depression disorder. For some people it's treated with eating healthy and a good serving of yoga, for others like me we need a cocktail of medicines to get our brain producing the serotonin we all need. It's the same with anxiety. With all kinds of mental illnesses. It's not glamorizing it. People are f*cked up a lot of the time
@MeetTerry I don't think anyone really creates a fetish out of mental illness. I believe this is just a reflection of how many people are not content with their lives for whatever reasons and may or may not mis-attribute their problems for illnesses. In the end, it doesn't really matter. It's a fact that society's rates of pumping out people with issues is only increasing and that's just sad.
i have moderate adhd which was diagnosed and im pretty sure im depressed because i have most of the symptoms down, but i dont really want to formally diagnose myself and going to a therapist is not an option right now because i dont really trust my parents with that...
