The Mental Illness Thread
#54
RE: The Mental Illness Thread
For me, the actual diagnosis was more of a "No shit, what's next?" moment. I think for most people, by the time you've reached the point of being diagnosed, you're already well aware that something is clearly wrong. The diagnosis is of little consolation beyond the fact that it means you can begin getting help.

Have you been diagnosed?
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
