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.

(Anonymous) 2012-01-26 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)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.
