What gets me is the randomness of my mental illness.
I'll be fine for a few days. Few delusions. Few hallucinations. Few thoughts of hurting myself. Then bam! Out of nowhere (I do mean no where, I can't find triggers usually) then it is all piled on.
Then I am in crisis mode. Then I get out of crises mode. Then I am fine again for a while. Then bam!
Rinse, repeat.
