Mental Illness Support

over 6 years

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

So when I was younger at about the age everyone starts reading fluently I still couldn't make out most of the letters I saw. It went on like this for a few years which I also got bullied for being "an idiot who cant read." which led to depression I failed english several times before anyone found out that I cant make out letters. Took me several more years to finally be able to read (Not smoothly, I sometimes still have to think about what I read)

I thhink the worst part of dyslexi is when you feel like you're the stupidest one in the room because everyone else can read. Knowing that I was dumber then the others didn't help depression it tbh fueled it.

when i was younger my parents would always think I was embarrassed to go out with them and this other stuff and they still think I am and they cant understand its anxiety of doing something, this isn't when I'm going to the shop or stuff like that I mean like when were at fairs and going to carnivals etc.

for those of you who don't know or don't have much experience with these illnesses, a mental illness is a condition which causes serious disorder in a person's behaviour or thinking.
