Do you have a mental illness?

According to my therapist I have "depression and anxiety"

No, and no amount of psychiatrists will convince me of that! 馃槧 Now, if you were only so kind as to open my padded cell and unfasten my straight jacket, I could prove the world wrong....

it's not a mental illness,it's a reaction to certain life's events. and it's up to us to control it without any medications..

@faefairy: you may understand your depression but for many people i know it is not caused or controlled by their own thoughts.

I don't really consider my anxiety to be a mental illness, as I developed it due to years of bullying/abuse...
But yeah, I have anxiety and very, very mild OCD.

My mental illness is called several things, stupidity, insanity, crazy, but mostly it is just called a Fetish.

I'm going to commit suicide in the future. It's just an inevitability. I'm sick of psychiatrists and I'm sick of my family and my life. Nothing will stop me. I'm staying alive until I can't bear it any longer. Then I'm gonna hang myself with a smile on my face thinking finally, a release from all the tension. Some people are just this way and there's nothing which can save them. I might be one of those people.

dont do that its not worth it

Please don't do that! That's how one of my best friends- who was also my sister's boyfriend at the time- died. It really devastated everyone that cared about him, and I still miss him to this day. No matter what you think, there are people who care, and you will leave a HUGE, painful void in their lives if you take your own. You are a very valuable person with a lot of potential, even if you aren't yet aware of it. Please don't give up.
