I have never been diagnosed as an adult, but I know I have depression and anxiety issues because it runs in my biological family with my brother and two sisters and biological mother. It didn't help growing up adopted with two well intended but authoritarian teacher parents, who sold me boys dont cry, children should be seen not heard, being sensitive on a street full of nothing but male bullies. I didn't have my first long time friend until high school, but even then I was bullied by others. I have trust issues even today.
I had an almost 3 month period of a hording documentary house living by myself. I hate the idiots who think because your limbs work that you don't have disabilities and say stupid things like "what's wrong with you" and "it's your fault" and "its all in your head" and "just do it" and "get over it".
It gets really bad for me when my mom has health issues and is in the hospital for an operation. And even now that she is stable and healthy besides mobility issues, I still second guess myself as when to step in and step aside.
Mental illness isn't just the guy screaming on the street corner that he is Napoleon who knows 9/11 is an inside job.
