Labels like OCD, anxiety, and depression are labels I like. Unlike what seems to be most people, I find labels like that to be a good thing, because, for me, they are an answers, and equal the necessary help. One label that does bug me, is "disabled" or "mentally unwell", but they are what they are; I'd rather not over-think it to death; it is helping me get my income and is helping me get supported housing, so I'm not complaining. I think I'm comfortable with this stuff, because it's all I know; I've always been the person who's "not right" - I've had problems since day 1, perhaps even literally. It wasn't so easy at first, and yeah, there are plenty of arsehats out there who don't care to open up their minds to mental health, but there's bumhats in all walks of life, no matter what your status is, someone always has some snide remark for it. I just try to get on with it, I guess; what other choice do I have?
