The above is a lie... I almost lost a close friend due to paranoid schizophrenia, she couldn't take anything her brain was telling her. 



Mental illness is a struggle but it's not without help. There are thousands if not millions of people who are always will to help. You won't struggle on your own

I've struggled with a GAD (generalised anxiety disorder) for years as well as ocd but I found the right people and Im slowly getting better. It's an uphill struggle but once you're at the top, remember it's a sprint back down and across the finish line 

I've found therapy works better than medication. I was on just a boost medication for low mood during therapy and found I was afraid of needing it. CBT and talking therapies are much more helpful than medication
