I'm quite curious on how its like to live with a actual metal illness. How is it? Did you just suddenly become damaged/deranged, and is this something you yourself noticed, or did someone else have to recognize it for you?
There's a person i used to know, who suddenly started going ape shit. Out of nowhere (reported by family), he started doing typical crazy shit like breaking in houses naked, stalking, and weird shit with family members. I remember interacting with him prior to the diagnosis early in his teens, and he was a perfectly normal kid. A few years past, and i started getting all types of news about him doing strange things to people around him, with him being diagnosed with some form of mental illness. I always truly wondered if this was just a result of his environment, and that maybe he couldn't take it anymore. But i will admit, he did not seem the same when i did meet him again, though, still seeming fairly normal?
How is it like with and without taking your medication? And do you think you could manage without medication? Do you think that ultimately the onset and trigger of your illness is caused by compounding factors of your environment/space? As in, do you think the people around you maybe overreact or do not understand that your behavior perhaps is not a result of some brain damage, but a result of situation etc.? Or is there some damage you recognize going on.
