We wonder who we are.
We question it and we try to understand.
We observe up close and we watch from distances away.
We struggle with our identity
and who it is we are to be and become.
We struggle with school with problems others don't tend to see.
We want to cry out for help when needed,
but it seems like we only need help when we exceed our tolerance.
It seems everything has a tolerance an acceptance or limit to but humanity emphasizes that.
Too often we do not not discourage those behaviors.
How are we to focus on our goals when our thoughts cause us to react to what we hear, what we see, what we are subjected to and how we are treated?
We try in many ways to just simply fit in,
but what happens when you eventually become uncomfortable in your own mental and physical state as well?
In fear of your behavior defining you,
you fear the person you want to become.
Would that person be normal or would society would reject that?
You've seen the labels.
Bipolar. Depression. Anxiety. Paranoia. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Schizophrenia, Eating Disorders. Sleeping Disorders. ADD. ODD. Conduct Disorder.
What if your labeled, does that become who you are?
What if you are labeled, does it make you a different person then you were before.
No.
Mental health is not contagious and it can not be chosen.
However we are labeled whether we have mental illness or not. It will not define us.
We are stronger than a label.
We may have to fight harder but we can handle it.
We are people too and we are just as okay.
If things don't seem to be okay than we will wait, because it is not the end until it is okay.
We will rise with mental illness.
We will accomplish with mental illness.
We will be who we are but we will not let mental illness define who we are.
