World is not waiting for you.

Doesn’t matter what kind of illness you have, the world continues without you.  So why not make the most of it?

Tomorrow the sun will come out and it will set but if you are just staying home obsessing about this condition, you are at a standstill while the world continues to spin.

I know how awful this condition!  But please think about the people who suffer many other serious illnesses, for example ALS, go on the forum and you will see many brave people like us, hats off to these strong human beings.

Lets get on board the train again and continue with life knowing that one day this nightmare will end and you will be fine.  Think that you’ve had the worst already, what’s worst that can ever happened anymore.  Go out and do things you normally wouldn’t do, you are still you!  Your personality is still there!  Nothing has changed, your parents still love you, people still care about you.  They view you as the same person as before.

Stay strong people!

Introduction

Hi guys, I’m starting this blog hoping to give motivation and comfort to those of you who are suffering from mental illness.

Just a little background on myself, I’m a 28 year old male from Canada and I’m currently working full time with a beautiful and supportive family.

As my title states, I suffer  and have been formally diagnosed with OCD, Anxiety and the worst of all depersonalization/derealization.  In the posts to come, I’ll be going into each one of them in more details and talk about mental health in general.  I’m not trained in psychology or psychiatry so my opinions are just my opinions.

My goal is to let the world know that mental illness is REAL, it  exists! And, to let the world know that people who are struggling with mental illness are the strongest human beings out there!

It is unfortunate where psychiatry currently lies, but at the same time we’re lucky to be living in a time where people are finally starting to understand mental illness.  From my knowledge, we’ve made tremendous amount of progress in terms of researching and treating mental illnesses in the past 100 years.

The human brain is EXTRAORDINARILY complicated, I feel like it’s currently out of our scope of intelligence to really understand how the brain works.

But let’s be more optimistic, we’ve made progress and we will continue to make progress.  Hopefully one day in the near future, we can visit psychiatrists and be able to have brain scans to tell us what is really going on in our brains, instead of giving out multiple diagnosis labels that we have currently in the DSM book.

LOVE YOU ALL!
