Mental disorders...

Who has them?

I do!

I have OCD, GAD( general anxiety disorder), and depression(controled)

It was really bad this past summer. I would stay in bed all day, and cry all night, and I would be poppin' Xanax all the time.
I was really depressed and I had horrible panic/anxiety attacks all the time.
I couldn't sleep and I was suicidal.
My friends saved my life.
When inwas up at night, crying, they would talk to me and calm me down.
I love my friends:)

Anyways, in august, instarted seeing a psychiatrist, and he gave me lexapro.
It helped a lot and doesn't have any crazy side effects like Xanax.
And I've been taking it ever since.

Things are so much better now!
I havent had an anxiety attack in MONTHS!
And I actually wanna get out and do things, and I don't feel depressed anymore:)

My OCD shows a little still at times, but it isnt that bad:)

So here are my questions!

1. Do you have any mental disorders?
2. If so, what?
3. Do you tell a lot of people?
4. How do you tell them?
5. If no to all of the previous then do you know anyone with a mental disorder?

I don't like to tell people cuz I start to feel crazy:/

If you don't feel comfortable answering, then don't.
