Is it normal that I know I'm not sane. I suffer from and live with mental illness. I have depression, anxiety, Borderline personality disorder, Obsessive compulsive disorder and I probably have Post Traumatic Stress disorder too.

I think that I work hard to improve myself. I go to therapy, take medication and generally try to improve myself. I can and do try my best to help others, and I have even been told that I do help others, but I feel unable to help myself.

I am ashamed of my disability, and I feel that I am not much help to myself. I am confused, because I researched someone online who hurt me, and I feel that was a stupid thing to do on one hand. On the other hand I am somewhat pleased that I feel like I am having less of an emotional response to that person's information than I thought I would, but I still think looking the person up was something less than constructive. My head is spinning.

    You're just a human being trying to figure out life and the best way to live. Just like everyone else. Everyone has problems. No matter what their outside appearance may be. Sounds like you're just doing the best you can like the rest of us.

      Thanks, I wish I wasn't so emotional though. My emotions are a big can of worms.

    Be who you are. You'll never be anyone else. Focus on loving yourself more than conforming to other people's perspectives of you. They can all eat shit and die. Therapists are okay but they really only focus on making you fit in as a generalized idiot, rather than allowing you to express who you are. You need an outlet. Fuck the world. You can't change who you are. Learn to embrace it.

    It's good that you understand you have a problem and are going through the necessary treatments that are available to you. That's all you can really do and by doing that you are helping yourself.

        Lots of people wish there life could be different, but it's best not to think about that too much. Instead just focus on getting better.
