I was talking to my mum last night and she admitted that I never had anything "mental illness" shaped until well after I was forced to go into hospital. She even almost admitted that all I have is post-traumatic stress, not psychosis. She keeps remarking on how "sane" I am right now and then going on about how "crazy" I used to be, except all the crazy stuff is drug side-effects like drooling and twitching and being really slow to respond, not actual psychosis stuff.
So, that's it folks. Getting diagnosed with a mental illness caused the only mental illness I've ever had. I feel like Sisyphus.
