A message to anyone suffering with a mental illness like me;
“Treat every mental illness like a physical illness. You are not weak. It is not something you can snap out of. People misjudge people with mental illnesses because they are more difficult to understand. But that doesn’t make them any less real, or any less painful. People with mental illnesses are sick, just like people who have diabetes or the flu. Do not be scared of medication. There are those who will tell you that taking your medication is the easy way out. There will be people who tell you that it’s a scam, a lie, a deceitful process; but those are all lies. You wouldn’t tell a diabetic to stop taking their insulin. You wouldn’t stop someone with strep throat from taking their antibiotics. That’s because they are sick, and they need to get better. Just like you. The more you understand that, the healthier and happier you will be.”
