Yeah the blame game is of no use. I've been told by therapists and my family for a looong time that its my fault and I only have myself to blame for being mentally ill, blah blah blah. But I don't care about who's fault it is - I just want the solution!

I think its because those who havent actually experienced what we have get the wrong impression. Getting up and being happy is a snap for them! They just can't comprehend what its like to not be able to smile, feel good, have goals or in my case even wash my clothes or have a shower. No idea in the slightest. I get a bit of satisfaction when i imagine some of them walking in my shoes for 1 week. They would have thrown themselves in front of a bus by day 3. And what does that say about us?

That says we are way, way stronger people than they could ever be! I think to myself "if i come out the other side of this I will be a damnnnnn strong woman".
