Great post! I needed to read that, didn’t know that stuff. I think self-stigma is hardest for me. The people I’ve told have understood, or been unbelieving. I get upset when my fellow nursing students talk about “crazy” patients and diagnose them without knowing them.
But I just keep thinking I’ll snap out of this and return to normal, thats the worst. But then was I ever really normal or did I just have a couple of good years between psychoses and depressions?
