Seeking help for your mental well-being

It took me 6 years and three attempts on my life before I sought treatment for my mental illness. Apparently I'm not alone.

Check out this link. Props to NPR.org:

TL;DR

• Protagonist lost 80% of friends while dealing with depression.
• "If we hide our mental health, it may remain a problem forever.
• People are often stigmatized to feeling mental illness is a result of personal weakness.
• Thus they don't seek treatment 
• In a study of fifty thousand in 21 countries 1/27 sought and found adequate help for mental illness.
• There needs to be an increase in awareness that depression is treatable.
• "If you feel something is wrong with you, seek help."

Hope all is well

Yours truly,

My Life Story Part One

So as I said I'm a university drop-out, ex crack head, overly anxious, socially assisted individual. My life currently looks a little bit like this:

I sleep very little. Maybe 4 hours a day. Always awake and manic by 3:30 am. Earlier this month I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, I reached a new 18 pill total. None are narcotics but the sheer amount of medication alone is taking a toll on my body. I'm 23 years old. Some days I wonder if I will ever reach a realm of normality again. I see doctors/psychiatrists/councillors at least once a week. My soul purpose as of late is to make all these appointments and I've been neglecting that. as well as every other adult responsibility I've taken on thus far.

You may still be wondering the point of this blog other than for me to vent, well; I need a forum to express my trials and tribulations of this disease that affects so many. Also I feel everybody could use a third and forth ear to listen to your story. Well I could be your shoulder to cry on or one of the members of the community of strangers that I hope to help reinforce.

I do not wish this disease on my worst enemy but many suffer from mental illness and I want to be able to help in some small way

Happy holidays

Yours truly

First and Foremost

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. At least i hope some part of it was good even if that part seems tiny and insignificant hold on to it.Hold on to it tightly. If you have trouble remembering a good moment over the last few days, then read on....

My name is Mitchell Jones and I am a nearly homeless, ex hard drug abuser, university drop-out, chaotic and overly anxious human. But I am also just that, a human. Most have trouble treating those who are labeled as mentally ill as humans. Never forget behind all those labels is still a human being you are a human being. A human being who deserves love, care, and attention .

If this has piqued you're interested then I should be posting daily and hopefully multiple times a day. I love you all you all deserve that love too.
