The one good thing about having depression, anxiety, BPD, psychosis and suicidal tendancies…

Is that my whole family can now pick up on the signs and symptoms of depression and anxiety, meaning that seeing as my brother has been showing these signs, we can get him help.

My main problem was that I didn’t get help for years, and things got worse and worse. But now because my family know more about mental illnesses, it means that my brother doesn’t have to suffer like that. He can get the help he needs in the beginning.

He doesn’t want to go to the doctors just yet, but he’s said that if he has another bad day like he’s been having, he will go. And I’m really glad. I’m also really glad that my illnesses have made it easier for my family to talk to one another about things like this.

I know that I hate BPD, depression, anxiety, psychosis and suicidal thoughts, but I am actually really glad I’m the oldest child in my family, because I’d rather suffer all of that then have my siblings suffer it.

My heart just broke a little reading this. <3
