For me it has. Before I was told I have mental health issues I felt a lot more confident. I’m not saying I was happy, but I didn’t feel like so ashamed of myself. All I do now is tell myself there’s something wrong with me, when I try to come out of my comfort zone, I feel like a fraud, like everyone is going to find out there is something wrong with me. I don’t believe I can do anything or belong anywhere, I just feel like a freak.

I think initially I couldn’t help but feel like something was wrong with me and now there was proof. After a while though I realized that getting diagnosed would only help me find the tools I needed to heal & learn better coping mechanisms. It helped me find a type of therapy that worked for me and better understand myself and what I needed. There’s nothing wrong with you. Just take it day by day. 💘
