Not a BNF by any stretch of the imagination, but yes I have a number of issues, and yes, on occasion, those issues do interfere with my ability to write fic or create fanart, and sometimes I even get frustrated enough to vent about it.

I am diagnosed with Psychotic Major Depression, Anxiety/Panic Disorder. ADD, Anorexia Nervosa (Subtype 1-Restricting), and OCD tendencies. I don't see why I need to hide my issues away, like they're a bunch of dirty little secrets that should be locked in a deep, dark closet, and never see the light of day. I chose long ago to be open about my diagnosis, not to try and earn some sort of 'special snowflake' status, but to try and combat the fear and stigma that surrounds these illnesses. Stigma, and fear is what prevented me from getting help as soon as I experienced my first psychotic episode; stigma and fear is what stopped me from facing my issues, and getting treatment sooner rather than later. Stigma is what cost me more than 15 years of my life, when I could have been on the road to recovery, or at least learning to manage my conditions. No more. This is part of who I am, I don't really care what anyone else thinks.

I am mentally ill, deal with it. Because that's exactly what I've chosen to do. And if that makes me a 'special snowflake', then so be it, it's not my problem.

It kinda is your problem, but thanks for trying to make it everyone else's problem. It is this kind of asshattery that makes those of us who want to deal with our problems properly and in a socially constructive manner have much more difficult lives. So take your problem and fuck off, asshole.

Wow. Thanks for making them feel bad for having a mental illness and trying to be open about so people can learn that GASP, others shouldn't feel guilty or bad for having it!

It's kinda your problem for making people feel for having mental illness. So take your judgement and go away, kid.

Remember kid, stigmatizing people just makes the world a worst place and finding out that your best friend ended up dying because they felt bad about having depression.
