I have been diagnosed with a few psych conditions through over 10 doctors evaluations. I understand it pretty well. Still I have done what I need to function as well as I do. I feel greatly annoyed when someone says they can't or will never due to some psychological problem in a pessimisstic attitude such as "I'll always be a failure" or "I may as well try." As well as other negative statements. I try as I can too be friendly but honestly I do feel it in me to want to smack someone when I hear these things. I'm a diagnosed autistic schizophrenic and I do so many things that people said I couldn't do and I didn't get where I am by not trying. I am annoyed by people using these things as an excuse to not do anything and accept failure. I've even found many things I can do that the average person is "disabled" at. The worst and most certain failure is to not try.

    You are OK. Many people in our society will not try anything. You are way ahead of most. Keep up the good things you are doing. We really enjoy your positive attitude. You can do what ever you want to do. Don't listen to any negative comments. You will do fine in life.

    Some people can do so much and carry on a good, productive life with all sorts of mental health conditions. I really admire their strength - life can be so much more difficult for them than the 'average' life. Mind you, most 'average' lives have their trials too - it's not all roses for the 'neurotypicals'. Keep trying. And, yes, be proud of what you've done so far.
