I recently attended a seminar on Neuro-diversity. It got me thinking, as much As I often wish I was a different person without anxiety and depression, I have to accept the fact I am who I am and everything that goes with that. If I was this mythical person without my conditions, I wouldn't be who i am today. I would not have made the friends I have or have the unique life I have because of my mental conditions, I would be someone who does not get it because they have never experienced severe anxiety and depression. My point is this, as much as my mental health affects me, the fact is it also defines who I am to a degree and because of this it gives me the confidence to support others like me in what they are going through, even if just sharing my journey encourages others to get help.
