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?
Change the thread description from "feel free to say whatever you want" to either "feel free to say whatever you want about your struggles" or "feel free to say whatever you want in a serious manner".
just letting you know, some people probably read the thread description instead of the mod threats inside the thread
TOTALLY RELETABLE about being obsessed with natural disasters and weather. I was crazy about it as a child. As a kid I used to think there were people standing over my bed. Also, just wanted to say stay strong. Addiction is not an easy battle. My addiction was never a drug but rather self-harm. Unfortunately that was my "drug" of choice or addiction for a few years. December 2018 will make 5 years of overcoming that. Just surround yourself with positive people and get rid of the people that don't help you grow. My inbox is open as well.
oK but seriously stop deleting my posts because everyone here thinks they have mental illnesses and that makes them cool or whatever and they need to know that they are just a little dumb :thumb:
i asked you to close this thread as its offensive. i reported it as offensive. what are you guys waiting for someone to kill themselves while you mock them in this thread? delete it now
Always been anxious, was obsessed with natural disasters as a youngster and feared one would kill me. If my parents were out I'd worry that they'd die, so really I've always been an irrationally anxious person.
Skip 18 years and I'm a drug user, nothing heavy just party drugs. I abuse them so hard that I gave myself a full blown GAD. Been on antidepressants since and now currently fighting a borderline valium/xanax addiction.
So yeah, if anyone ever wants to speak my PMs are open. And remember, the brain is an organ and it'll slowly repair itself. :)
My OCD catches me everywhere I go and invades most thoughts. I can't even act like a normal person or touch people without being afraid of giving or catching . It's like a mix of selfishness and empathy.
