Mental Health Help

Hi Sisters!

I don't have a question but I'm hoping I could lend a helping hand.

I read so much on social media about mental health and I hear so much publicly which is more negative than positive which is quite sad. People still don't quite understand what mental illness is or how to treat people with a mental illness. I see a lot of people shaming others and say they are just attention seeking. This really offends me. Sure, there are some people who unfortunately abuse the system and fib but people need to understand that not everyone are these types of people.

I suffer from schizoaffective disorder which is a form of schizophrenia and let me tell you that it is fucking scary. Especially when I chose to go through this alone because I was ashamed of myself. I don't want people feeling the way I did.

When I first started to experience my 'insanity inside myself' I wrote it down to help myself understand, now I've turned it into a small biography in hope that I can help those who suffer from a mental illness that it's okay to reach out. That it's okay to feel different. I hope I can help those who don't suffer understand how someone who does suffer feels. I've posted this online for the entire world to see and I'm not ashamed anymore. I admit, I still have a few hurdles I need to get through but I'm now confident. Let's take the stigma away from mental illnesses.

All of what is written is true. Keep in mind, this is all taken from my journal when I first started to experience all of this. It is rough and it isn't written perfectly, it is written how it happened, it is written real.

You will need to sign up (free) but it is also a great website if you like to read! If you do, make sure you hit 'follow' so you can get a notification on when the next part is published up.

I hope this can help at least one person.

It's hard to smile on the outside when you're fighting a war with yourself on the inside.
