Hello there, I'm UntamedPetrovaFire. I've been on this site for years, and I'm thankful to this site for teaching me about the internet and how fandoms/fangirls/art sites/etc. work. Today I unfortunetly have found myself in a tough position. As of September of last year I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, mild Agoraphobia, Dysthmia (mild Depression), Depersonalization/Derealization, mild OCD and mild Dermatophagia. I believe these illnesses have always been a part of me, as this has happened to me before, and I do not believe that I will ever fully recover; I expect that I will deal with my illnesses for the rest of my life. NO, I am not giving up. NO, I do not want anyone's pity. I am mentally ill, but I am still here. I am not lazy, I am not crazy, and I suffer from MEDICAL ILLNESSES that are no different from Cancer, Diabetes, or even a common cold. I will fight my illnesses. I am currently in therapy, doing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a therapist I rely on and trust. It may take me a lot longer to do normal things that so many others are accustomed to, but I know that I will eventually be able to achieve the milestones and goals I want. I'm still too early in my recovery to give that much help, but I encourage ANYONE who thinks they have a serious problem to GET HELP. I originally didn't want help, I didn't want to look weak by going to therapy, but I'm now glad that I am. And another thing-stop stigmatizing those with mental illnesses. You do not understand the HELL we go through. We fight our own minds everyday, fighting our psyche and our own biology. Be supportive, not offensive.
