Mental health isnt about calling people crazy. Depression Psychosis Borderline personality disorder Hypomania Bipolar And many more can be extremely hindering to a persons every day life. I know a few people with depression who go to work every day. Go round town. Others stay at home. Avoid people. In my experience I would rather break my legs. I suffered badly with night terrors. Serious anxiety. Depression. Psychosis. Hypomania. And a few others to the point I was scared of myself. I had voices screaming at me in my head. Repeating nasty things people said. Constantly. I ended up being referred to a psychiatrist and put on high dose of anti depressants. I struggled every day without telling people unless I couldnt cope. I became a shell. Then me and my ex split up. I fell in love with a wonderful man. My family still stood by me after all the arguments. And I started feeling normal again. Its all still there. I still freak out over doing stuff with friends. Even making phone calls scare me. Theres no reason why. They just do. Stuff like that the little things that trigger bad moments. They scare me solid. Just because someone with mental problems seems outgoing. Fun and excitable. Doesnt mean theyre lying or attention seeking when they have bad moments. It means they dont like to think or talk about their problems. Its easier to try and get away from them. If I ever see someone being called crazy or anything else due to a mental problem I will kick off. Its not an easy thing to live with. Nor is it easy for the close friends and family when their friend or child shuts off and hides it all so they arent mocked or upsetting anyone.
