Want to hear the craziest thing ever that keeps making me laugh every time I think it, but given I am so completely open about my mental health and the official eight different diagnoses I have, or, to be pedantic, I am officially diagnosed with six mental illnesses, one personality disorder and a neurological condition…
Bipolar
Dissociative Disorder
Severe Complex PTSD
Anixety
Depression
Suicidal Ideation
Borderline Personality Disorder
ADHD
These are just the mental health illnesses I have been diagnosed with over the years. I have a whole list of physical health conditions also, but that’s not for today…
What I am finding absolutely astonishing is the fact that I had never once considered myself “mentally ill” even though I have these conditions. It was truly mind f*cking when I first actually registered that thought, given it was so recent. I’m not sure exactly when, but I think near the end of the last unit on abnormal psychology and now combined with the topic I am working on for my current lab report assignment, has shown me, what I just never realised.
Isn’t it strange how our minds work š
I am glad to have had this realisation at the end of my degree and not at the start š
Now I have to get some work done on the lab report as I’m fairly busy the next couple of days š¤
5:50 pm (how??? how is it 5:50 pm already?!? š«)
It is now 10:54 pm with my dinner on my lap and assignment open in front of me. But, l am very interested in watching this particular video to see if I can see what my therapist is talking about in regards to how I was “presenting” in comparison to usual š it’s now 11 pm and my pir and hasbrown is getting cold š¤¦āāļøš¤£
