One of my beliefs tells me that participating in these forums is “celebrating” my illnesses. Digging the dirt out from under me. Does anyone else get these types of ideas?
The reason why i come to this forum is because it’s the only place I know of that has people who have had some of the exact same experiences as me, for the most part, some of my experiences were unique to my psychosis, but at least we can all understand what each other is going through.
The regular person on the street doesn’t get it, and even some professionals don’t seem to fully get it.
I don’t feel like I am “celebrating” it though.

Man, thank you for that. I can’t say word one about it except to my bipolar friend but she’s so relentlessly negative I just can’t take it sometimes. It’s people like you who GET IT that I don’t have that “unloved and weeded out” feeling coz my brother sure doesn’t get it

I’ve only been a member of this site since late August (I think). Being here has been good for me. I feel like others understand me for the first time in my whole life. I feel less alone, and that there are people here who are rooting for me to improve (at my own pace) when others in the offline world don’t think I’ll get better. So, I celebrate the idea of being less alone… 
Hell yeah.

You should celebrate your illness. People make life hell and probably cause it. You should enjoy everything you can.
