Hello
How are you doing?
Is there anyone here with a mental illness? Maybe someone would like to talk about it? It will be interesting to hear about your experience and find out if there is something similar in our stories 😊

I'm sorry but that build up was HILARIOUS šŸ’€ I WHEEZED oh my god

Hmm, it's very difficult for me to find a psychologist and get diagnosed, so I'm sure I have stuff but I'm not sure what.
Well, beyond a few phobias, which do count as anxiety disorders as far as I remember.

I used to have bad anxiety which caused me chest pain. After several medical exams determining my heart was not the problem, I started psychotherapy and I learnt what mental health needs. So, now I am much better, but I wish I knew this important stuff before, and I don't like that many things in our society (I am talking about Europe, in particular big universities) teach and encourage behaviours that are completely wrong for mental health. I guess that many people don't know and also don't have the means to seek therapy and this should be fixed.

I don't think I have mental illness but I am a little bit depressed and I also have social anxiety šŸ˜….and I overthink a lot.
I also want to know if you have mental illness.

I'm great, many thanks. And you?
I do not think I have a mental illness, no. I feel quite ordinary, thank God.
