In reply to What it is like being mentally ill, posted by Alii on January 5, 2003, at 15:03:01
all my life mental illness has been a voice on my shoulder, whispering, "you're no good", "you're not one of them", "you're inhuman", "you will live this way forever"...my thought patterns change over the years, in some ways im a lot stronger now... but i still feel alienated, cant/dont call back people who call, two messages today, and i put it off...
when im out and arround people im fine, no agoraphobic (is that the right word), but at home, i have some sort of natural dread of the phone ringing, unless its one of the few people who i can talk to...
being possesed is a bitch, where is a honest catholic priest when you need him.
all my love.
