But I am afraid of being happy. And I don't know why.
Maybe because I'm not used to it? Or because if I am "better" I really won't belong with my family at all? I really can't pinpoint what it is.
Can anyone else relate?

the thing I am afraid of most about getting better is,
what would I do with myself?
if I woke up tomorrow mental illness free, what the **** would I do with myself?
it's not like I've got any plans to fall back on or any qualifications, or indeed any family/ friend support, I've had mental health problems since I was 9- and my life's been built around that as it were.
I've barely had any experiences of people half my age... I would be so scared
