Reading this post was just perfect timing for me, as like kers said I say all those things about and to myself, and am trying hard not to believe them.

I hate to admit that for so long I was one that felt uneasy when ever the words mental health or illness were mentioned even after it included me...

My favorites that friends or family have said, would have to be
" aren't you better yet!!"
" how much longer does this take, till your normal"
and the best
" could you stop being so jumpy, and on edge people are going to think your crazy"
