I feel pretty good right now but my mind keeps wanting to focus on something negative. My paranoia comes into play because all my neighbors know that I'm considered mentally I'll. I feel like people can take advantage of someone who has been hospitalized. Like pin some crime on me because they know I've been struggling with mental illness. I can't stand how society labels the topic of mental illness. So what am I suppose to do, I have the biggest heart in the world and I always think people can take advantage of me.

I also have an addiction so I've always lied ato people. So its like a double whammy. Society tends to believe that all mental illness leads to crime and thats ********. I never got arrested even when I was in a delusion. It drives me up a wall.

Since all of this has been happening to me I have lost a lot of people in my life family members and friends is it hurtful to me an really sad. (Weepingrose) Sheila
