Your reply got a smile from me wildcat....I think that is what runs through our minds.
I think the hardest part for me was accepting I had a mental illness. After two years in bed you'd think it would have been obvious - not! I was getting the meds, I wasn't working on the other stuff! I quit taking the meds, I mean heck, I was all better, I didn't need those, right? geez, it didn't take long to figure out that was why I was doing better. But I do believe we are all courageous each and every day that we face this battle and that will make us stronger to face another day.
Myth: If you have a mental illness, you can will it away. Being treated for a psychiatric disorder means an individual has in some way "failed" or is weak.
Fact: A serious mental illness cannot be willed away. Ignoring the problem does not make it go away, either. It takes courage to seek professional help.
