I wish there were new healthier terms to live by other than "mental patient". That term makes me shudder.


I feel your pain about "trapped in the role of always sick 'mental patient.'

At the age of 68, it suddenly dawned on me that I have been sick all these years and no medication has helped. I had hoped, unrealistically, that I would be cured. Each medication I took, I thought would cure me. No one shared with me that this is a lifetime illness that can be treated but not cured. Why did it take 68 years to learn this?


I hear you Still
