When stable I don’t consider myself ‘sick’ but not quite well either. Like my illness is lurking around waiting to pounce on me any second. Saying that, I am rarely stable for long. During severe episodes I do consider my self sick, however it is like a spectrum of sickness. Eg; 1=severe depressed and 10=psychotically manic. Every human being lies on this spectrum but most wouldn’t consider themselves sick. Am I making sense? Thoughts a little scattered right now.
