People think recovering from a mental illness' are easy. That's its just becoming happy again, or that its just becoming to be less excitable, or that's its simply just eating. These are some, of a few many little things people expect us to become. But its not. Its not just eating again, and its simply not just becoming happy. Its about re-training our bodies, its about changing the chemical balances in our brains, and most importantly is about learning to love ourselves.
Not all mental illness' for all people result in the individual hating themselves. But for most it does result in this. Having a mental illness destroys a persons confidence, their happiness, it stops them from being able to see how worthy they are, how magical they are. Because their illness shows them that they are not. It consumes them. Creating its own little world inside its victims head. Only with therapy, and for some, medication that this little world is destroyed.
Not all mentally ill people receive medication. But some do. For some people its a simple pill, or a simple liquid they must take, for others their medication is food. But none the less all medication is important. And for some without it can be life threatening and cause them to only continue in their illness.
This is just some food for thought.
