The pain of it all.
The pain of rejection from family and friends.
The pain of having to deal with societal beliefs about mental health illness.
The pain from constantly battling doctors who always look at your mental illness as a reason for physical or other issues.
The pain of isolation and devastating loneliness.
The pain of trying constantly to monitor your symptoms because you're afraid of a “break” or other serious issue.
The pain of being in a mental health facility. Just because we're there to heal, doesn't mean that it wasn't traumatic getting there.
The pain of losing employment due to your mental health illness.
“Losing” yourself is extremely painful and frightening.
The overwhelmingly painful depression that leads to attempted or completed suicide.
The pain of fighting a daily battle to simply survive to the next one.
The pain of recognizing that you will always be sick, even with treatment. This is accompanied with the knowledge that life will be harder and more restricted than that of others.
The pain of ignorance, people who we love that don't care to learn about the mental illness, but use judgemental language or behavior.
The pain of feeling trapped in a mind that never feels like your own.
Peace 💜
