Swirls in my head - Thoughts from a mental mind

I said that my illnesses would not define me; yet, as I type my thoughts I realize that I have let them shape my life. How do I separate myself from something that is a part of me? Do I even need to? I suffer from Depression and Borderline Personality Disorder, not to mention a long list of physical alignments. No matter what you take from reading my entries, you will see what the world is like through the eyes of someone else – someone who is still trying to find their way.

David Stein said...: All I have to say is that it is about time we work towards eliminating the stigma of mental illness. I can fully relate, being a Bipolar American it is almost impossible for me to talk about this to anyone with out receiving some sort of negative reaction. But the more we work to change the stigmas the more we will see people begin to accept us.
