I have Bipolar, ptsd and anxiety. I for too long hid it. Feeling ashamed as if I asked for it some how. Afraid of what people may or may not say.
No more. Am I proud I have it? Not at all but I am proud I am a functioning adult. That I am kicking its ass most days. That I Heather Lum will not let it dictate me.That Its not who I am just a small part of who I am.
To all the haters out there. You may write your words on a piece of toilet paper and send it to me. Thats all your hateful words mean to me.
That’s how I feel sometimes with my anxiety. That my family won’t understand it but it’s a part of who I am. Luckily, now I have someone who supports me when I do have a rough day. I really enjoyed reading this. Good for you!
Screw the haters! Mental illness or no, it's how you stay true to you that really counts, and the fact you always stay true to yourself will always be a sign of strength. Keep on fighting! We will be here for you!
