Being mentally ill is awful because there's this constant self-doubt that I might just be making it up and I might just be a weak, lazy, terrible person. It doesn't help that I'm not even sure I've been given the right diagnosis but I mentally can't bring myself to speak about my problems to people so I can't get the help I need. I've been to three different counselors and only one of them took me seriously, but even then she could do very little to help because I struggle so much to speak. If I was physically ill I'd never doubt myself or be doubted by others. I wouldn't have Work and Income constantly breathing down my neck wanting medical certificates and interviews to make sure I haven't magically become capable of functioning in society.
Would you rather have a physical disease or a mental disease?
