I'd actually thought about doing an "Ask a mental patient" thread, but this is a better idea.
My escapades in mental health are vast and too numerous to post, but they include everything from missing high school to be put in a mental hospital to finding my best friend's deadly body after he killed himself. I've suffered from severe depression and anxiety for two decades now, and I've made eight trips to the psych. ward.
In the past five years or so, though, I have learned to manage my illness pretty well, so if anyone is interested in that, I can answer questions of that nature, too.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
