Yeah I see your point. And also a fair one.
But I would just like to stand up for myself In the fact. I have used this disorder as an excuse sometimes.
It's shameful.
But I def do not wallow in my depression.
I'm am unstable at the moment. And I prob have more good days then bad.
I recognise my bad days. And do everything I can to get out of them.
At the moment I feel I am my illness. How ever I am fighting this. Because I know cos I've done it before.
Public places and crowds are hard for me right now.
When I'm feeling better, I'm out going, funny and fairly confident person.
This is the person who I am always reaching out for.
