Ive never publicly shared that I suffer from depression and anxiety. Its honestly not anything I thought Id ever be okay with telling people about myself. Ive been completely torn apart by people I thought I loved and trusted, telling me that mental illnesses are all in your head and to excuse her way of thinking because she takes medicine that messes up her brain. Im embarrassed to share this secret with people because they always, usually without them knowing, start treating me differently. They feel like they have to be cautious around me. But screw it. Hiding and suppressing my feelings only makes things worse. The best thing for me to do is express how I feel, to sort of cope with my differences. Today has been one of the bad days. But instead of hiding under the covers and turning the TV on, I decided to do some research. Maybe its silly, but the more I know about whats happening to me and people just like me, the better I feel. Upon my research I found an article someone wrote just a few hours ago, and it really struck a chord. So just in case youre interested....
