In the beginning when she was talking about her experience and her perception of reality i related *SOOO* much, it is unreal, thank you so much. Also, im really surprised this has less views than others

[@kevinserra53]

This was very inspiring and relatable. We are not the victims. We are the survivors. I am not a monster.

[@joannatan3190]

She is such a brave fighter in life, not a victim but a survior of mental illness.I can't imagine how tough she has to go through her every day but her story just inspire me.👏👏👏

Sadly Th eres no cure just meds to keep someone a little stable. My friend has this and everyone is scared of her including her family. It's hard to be her friend when she's unpredictable and violent. She's no longer herself, not the person I knew. She used to hate her mom for being " crazy". She had the same mental condition. Now she also has it, life is unfair😐😕

[@lislelisle5453]

The funny thing is, i am so upset because i have been diagnosed with schizoaffective. I have found when people no this im a sitting duck! Example, i have had men try and push past my boundaries when i stand up for myself put my foot down and say NO they just keep on, then i call the police they say well she is mental, crazy that person will get away with harassment! I cant even stand up for myself or i get called crazy, now i just dont talk to anyone and keep myself away from people. I have considered taking myself out of this world, im not afraid to die, but if i do this then those toxic people have got away with hurting me, and most likely get away with latching onto another person not protected. What am i supposed to do, i am not protected, my family dont believe in mental health constantly subtlety letting me know just how useless i am. Im sitting watching youtube and my story is completely different.

Is disorder a illness?
