You know sometimes I wonder why mental illness exists. I am not saying that the opposite of lack of mental illness is happiness abound. It's simply a lack of disease.  I am pissed at what mental illness does to people.  It makes them so self centred. It's like they can't see past themselves and glimpse into the pain they cause the people around them. It's hard to see what they go through during an episode but it still doesn't hurt less when their episodes make you feel a typa way.

You try to roll with the punches, you always put yourself second,you are afraid and walking on eggshells..that nagging feeling that there will never be any wins.
You have to be the strong one all of the time. You have to look like you are put together like despite you not having a mental illness you are still battling demons of the mind....

It's hard... I wunt lie...it's hard being the partner,child,parent,sibling,friend, lover of someone with a mental illness. It's fucking hard... I applaud all of you out there... keep on with the good fight... You are appreciated.
