paranoia and depression don't work too well...they pulled my medications because they made me worse...they have yet to find anything to help me...so I'm just sitting here hurting, with my gun within arm's reach...it sucks...

well if you want to know(and i know you do :) ) my problem is the stigma, it's a big pink elephant that never goes away, and you feel totally alone, even if some anonymous person on the internet says they have it.

i understand people getting tired of constantly dealing with someone who explodes nonstop, but a lot of 'mentally ill' people arent like that

the reason for this isnt because theres anything wrong with the person suffering, its because most people are vacuous, callous idiots


If this is in refrence to what I posted, Im not talking about the mentally ill who are idiots im talking about the people who just dont care about them and think that they can just snap out of it, mental illness is a serrious issue that needs attention. I am bipolar and I have had 3 friends commit suicide, so besides working with the mentally ill I am mentally ill, BIPOLAR, BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER, SCTZ.... ETC are disorders but everyone is different and there are obviously more severe cases then others, but there are numerous factors that lead into a diagnosis and some people can just do councling and be alright, Me I do meds and councling and im great....

well you know that personality disorder is every psychologists opinion vs. you. meaning no matter what you say or deny it, they have proven your wrong and that your personality is, and theres no better way to say this, FLAWED. i have one too *not borderline...i think, they never told me* but anyways im on a rant the end. please don't read up on it, it'll drive you nuts.
