It annoys me when people automatically see you have a mental illness and either think you are completely insane or are lying. Do some people lie about having mental illnesses? yes but I don't know why, it's not cool and for someone, me, who actually is diagnosed with several, it sucks for the people who are on paper with one or several.

I have been officially diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, Panic disorder & PTSD, schizoaffective disorder is schizophrenia and bipolar disorder together, I guess it is bipolar disorder with hallucinations if you want to get technical. Panic disorder is having panic attacks all the time and let me be clear a panic attack and an anxiety attack are two different things. PTSD is diagnosed when you go through some traumatic and people diagnosed with PTSD have flashbacks and night terrors years after the event.

One of the biggest misconceptions is all with a mental disorder are on disability and get a check, first of all what fantasy world are you living in? It's not the real world, do you know how hard it is to prove a mental illness, first of all? it's not easy, plenty of people walk around officially diagnosed with something and you wouldn't even know it, why? either they are properly medicated, stable and probably have jobs, but you know some of you believe we can't work apparently. a lot of us, are stable and hold full time jobs and lead normal lives. sorry to break the bubble in your head.

That all people who are diagnosed should act crazy or they are lying

excuse me mental illness in real life is not how it's portrayed in media and just because you personally know someone whose diagnosed who acts crazy, doesn't mean the rest of us need to act like that, they are probably not on the right medication therefore not stable at the moment. The reason why there is such a stigma against mental illness is because of stereotypes people put on it, you must do this to have that. wtf is that, I don't have to fit in your little bubble of what's right to be told I am telling the truth. when people are honest about being diagnosed with something, they get told they are lying, why? because everything has to fit in some perfect bubble to be true?

guess what, it doesn't work like that. In all honestly I ain't gotta prove shit to any body. I am grown, but I can scan my paperwork, I am on paper for all of what I am diagnosed with mental or physical.
