Break The Stigma

Not too long ago I was diagnosed with PTSD and anxiety depression. I was in a major accident about a month ago and lets just say it effected my life majorly. I didn't feel the same after. I didn't really want to talk to anyone, not my friends, not my family and not my coworkers. I saw myself getting angry very easily. I lost interest in my hobbies: painting, writing, and drawing. I panicked very often. I just wasn't myself anymore. When I knew I lost it was I started crying at work for no apparent reason and I decided to make the impulse decision to quit. Thankfully my work understood and I just went on a small leave. I got analysed by a psychologist and got diagnosed. My first day of therapy is tomorrow and I'm nervous. But really the whole point of this is mental disorders should be treated like any illness. It's irritating when people tell me I'm just having a bad day. It's more than that. If you haven't been through it, I know it's hard to understand. I struggle to get out of bed everyday. I struggle to interact. I wish I could be normal but I just feel hopeless most of the time. If anyone in your life had a mental illness be supportive and try to be understanding. It's a really difficult struggle and they need your love and support.
