Der honey:

Here is a personal suggestion to you: instead of thinking of yourself as someone with “severe mental illnesses my whole life”, think of yourself as a girl with a broken heart, a girl that was hurt because her father, whom she loves so much, is disappointed of her, and because children in school bullied her.

If you think of yourself as having “severe mental illnesses” that’s.. not true: you were not born with mental illnesses. You were born fine, like any other baby, and then you got hurt, and that hurt created a hole in your heart (your words).

Think of yourself as hurt, not as mentally ill. Then address this hurt with empathy and kindness for yourself. And post here anytime.
