I have been diagnosed with a lot of mental illnesses... I am "not well" to use the old phrase.
I've tried to kill myself too many times and I've paid a terrible price along the way.
I have social anxiety, I don't like being around people most of the time, I have hardly any social life to speak of, and there seems to be no future ahead for me except going to see my counselors and weekly therapist.
I'm surprised so many here are bravely and honestly being open about themselves, it does make you feel less alone...
Such highly intelligent people on this forum, very knowledgable, and very passionate about what they believe in.
