I wish you were not feeling so bad about yourself. I am sure you do too. I have not been diagnosed with a mental illness but my experience comes from being raised by parents-yes, both-diagnosed schizophrenia. My father is now deceased but suffered with paranoia and hallucinations. My mother gets manic/depressive. She is often out of touch with reality and has made multiple suicide attempts. I learned young to choose my words very carefully. In your post you wonder why? Your last sentance tells me you know there is a purpose for you. Sometimes I cannot see the forest through the trees but keep on going. You sound stronger than you are giving yourself credit for. I get down feelings as well but probably not as bad as you are feeling. Please remember that everything gets better eventually. I worked with a surgeon and he had a great saying-eventually all bleeding stops. He would say this when things were hectic in the ER. I hope this doesnt sound morbid to you but in the er it was like saying-this to shall pass. I hope you start feeling better soon. When i see your posts I will gladly respond to see how you are doing, if you do not mind.
