What's it like living on the edge of insanity? It can sometimes be a living hell not knowing if what your brain is telling you is real or if it's playing tricks on you. We are not mental health professionals with degrees, we are average people who have learned how to cope with our symptoms. Most of us have more than one diagnosis. Mental illness doesn't get 'zapped' away by medications or therapy. People with depression can't just 'snapped out of it' like many friends and loved ones have told us to do. One person copes with PTSD by writing comic books to manage their symptoms and another has tried EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). One person shares what Photophobia is, a type of anxiety that you wouldn't think is a mental illness. If relapse occurs (like when depressed, our personal hygiene goes out the window), we have learned how to reach out to others, especially to our close friends, and our mental health professionals. There's nothing shameful about having mental or emotional illness and it's perfectly normal to ask for help.
