I am not bipolar, I have major depressive disorder, PTSD, and severe anxiety.
The question I ask WHY about is why I can't handle working when others with mental illnesses do.
I was "going places" and then the depression slowly began to worsen and it has been progressive ever since.
Because of a change in my spiritual beliefs, I do not ask "why me?", I ask "why not me?"
These illnesses have led me to be a far more compassionate person, have forced me to learn depth, and brought me to many studies that I probably otherwise wouldn't have, they have changed my values and taught me respect.
But would I choose to have these illnesses? No.
Do I hate taking all the pills that are so wonderful for me? Yes.
Would I change places with anyone else I know? No.
