Things To Understand

[Merp]

Depression is NOT selfish! Anxiety is NOT rude! Schizophrenia is Not Wrong! Mental Illness isn't self-centered, anymore then a broken leg or the flu is self-centered! If your mental illness makes you feel guilty, review the definition of "illness" and try to treat yourself with the same respect and concern you would show a cancer patient or a person with pneumonia!
You are NOT your illness. You have a name, a history, a personality. Staying yourself is the battle.
You have the power to say,"This is not how my story will end."
Remember, YOU DESERVE RECOVERY! You deserve to be at Peace! You deserve to be Happy! You deserve to be Healthy! You deserve to be Carefree!
Never give up on someone with a mental illness. When "I" is replaced with "We", Illness becomes Wellness!
Depression, Anxiety, and Panic Attacks are not signs of weakness! They are signs of trying to remain strong for too long!
Don't Fake being okay! You only hurt yourself! Be real with what you're going through, just don't let it consume you!

I'm Creating this thread to let people know with Mental Illness Its okay to have it! I myself go through it too! I have had an Anxiety Disorder for two years now! I had depression and beat it, but unfortunately I have been diagnosed with Depression again! Just Because you have a Mental Illness doesn't mean you're not human! I am here with you all Even If I'm struggling with my own Illness, doesn't mean we can't help each other. Remember Recovery From a Mental Illness Takes Time, it doesn't just happen in a day!

This thread is so true, mental illness isn't something we can control. This made me smile.. even though I'm going through a dark period of time for me;this is extremely inspiring.
Last year on the 14th of December my mum passed away... I had mixed and confusion of emotions and didn't know what to do with life. It didn't really feel like reality to me, but now it's hit me. I have no mum and that's life for you.
I guess I never really noticed it but depression is slowly began to hit me, hard but slow. This event has helped me learn to be so much more greatful for you family, friends, the house you live in, the life you still have. It's taught me how to be strong in some of the most difficult situations.
So if there is one thing that everyone should do, is to love your parents and yourself. Mental illness can be caused by anything. Even though I know a lot of people who's illness started from themselves, it doesn't have to be that way.
In our world of people, everyone should be happy with their life, who they are, their family, friends, etc. and they shouldn't let mental illness stop them, to stop their journey of life. Something that could last for years could end quite quickly. If you are having problems then talk to someone. As they can really help. So hopefully this thread can save a life of someone suffering a serve metal illness like depression..
