/mental/ - Mental Health, Illnesses and Disorders

Generally I'm open about where mine are from if the person is polite but ambushing someone like that would not be ok. "Oh, this person might have selfharm scars. Let's get in their face and force them to talk about their mental problems that are none of my business in the first place."

>be 2006
>had issues, confused teenager just diagnosed with BPD
>sent to Christian therapists by parents and told to trust god as therapy
>father starts going to therapy too at the same group of doctors
>parents having issues
>father diagnosed with BPD
>suddenly feel like I have something in common with my dad, someone who understands
>parents get divorced
>father seen as the victim due to his mental illness, gets settlement money, abandons family, moves
>year later, he tells me that he got the diagnosis reversed, therapist was wrong, he's moving in with his new girlfriend, and that I should just get better like he did
>brother finds out father had been seeing her for 2 years
>lawyer father used my mental health diagnosis to make the divorce and subsequent shit go in his favor and get everyone's sympathy by pretending he was ill and a victim while hiding an affair

I don't blame him for wanting to get away from my bipolar (officially diagnosed later) bitch mother but I resented him for how he did it.

>no idea if that worked
Doesn't sound like he was convinced. Sorry it happened, though. Hate it when people think they're reaching out and helping you when they're just being nosy bastards. I hope things work out for you.

I got caught cutting once in high school. Threw some bloody tissues out right in the school psych's trash can, like a fucking retard. No idea what the fuck I was thinking. School called my parents to take me home and I got sent to the nurse to wait for them. They put me in a room by myself, and I cut again because I was miserable (who the fuck puts someone who just cut themselves out of their sight?)
Parents got mad and worried about me being suicidal, can't remember much else because I refused to talk about it. Everyone assumed it was a one-time incident, so it's never brought up. Never been caught before or since.

I usually talk to people i like aboit my second personality, everyone finds the story really awesome.

Plus, i'm the normal half, so they never treat me differently.
No pity nor sadness, they just compliment for getting through that shit.

>be schizo
>recently diagnosed and still psychotic
>got a job
>one day a coworker asks me when I am going to shoot the place up
>I say never
>he then asks me if I am gay

What an asshole.
I am not a mass murderer and I am not a faggot

>higher up black guy
at least he didn't rape you

>walking to the train station with group of friends
>two sisters have an older sister with aspergers
>one keeps bugging me about it, saying how much I remind her of her sister.
>i brush it off, tell her to fuck off
>her other sister does the same thing, except this one has bipolar and now probs schizo. maybe.
>i tell her about it and ask not to tell anyone else about it
>occasionally used to have talks about our disorders. she was the only one i ever actually openly spoke about my illness.

due to work commitments and just generally busyness, we grew apart for like a good year and a bit but now we try to keep in contact even with our work schedules busier than before. but sadly we don't speak about our illnesses as much now.

He might as well have. His breath smelled like fuckin unwashed cocks. It was awful.
