I can't say I ever judged people with mental illnesses, but I never really took the time to imagine what it would be like to ever have a mental illness. I never really had much of a reason to think too much about it, my immediate family is pretty healthy mentally; and I never thought I had any seriously problems, in fact, I still don't, even though I was recently diagnosed with PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder. I know, I thought only people who have near-death experiences or those soldiers/veterans who go to war get PTSD.
No worries though, this mental illness is just a piece of who I am, it does not define me. If anything, I want to reach out and help others dealing with issues the eye can't see.
