I'm not feeling down when I do that, I'm trying to show people that there's more to life than baby and puppy pics and trite sayings about bs. I want my face out there on mental illness. In my blog or anywhere else. It has paid off but no details from me.
I post about lots of stuff but usually once or twice a day I'll post mental illness related stuff.
I posted my whole story on a massive ecig forum. Even I was horrified. Last time I checked there were over 7000 views and hundreds of posts. Know what's crazy? Not one single negative post, not one. I was shocked and a lot of people told their stories. I was thanked over and over. A lot of people with mental illness smoke so it kind of made sense but still, no 'victim of big pharma' posts? I haven't gotten that much attention on any forum ever. lol
If I make a fool out of myself then maybe if their young child is diagnosed they may have a frame of reference and they can always pm me. Others have and we are all facebook friends now!:)
I've become pretty close to one guy. When he pm'd me he said his wife wouldn't take 5 minutes to read about what he deals with.
I'm on a mission from god, brynb.How people treat you is their karma
How you react is yours.
