As a child in the 70’s I would feel what I could only describe as “home sick” even when I was home in my own bed. I never wanted to stay at other’s houses.

I always assumed the worst would happen if someone traveled. I just thought this was what life was. My brother died unexpectedly when I was 11.

Things spiraled from there. I asked for counseling and my mother told me that only weak people go to counseling, we were strong and did not need it.

ASD and Anxiety - My Story
Hello, my name is James and I want to voice my struggles and successes with others that are suffering from mental illness and developmental issues. Ever since I was little I knew something was off. I was always told throughout my life that I seemed like a calm person, however that was far from the truth. The wheels were always turning in my head. I was intrigued by the success stories on ADAA and reached out to share my story.

What hurt the most was reading BPD book reviews that called people with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) “cancer,” “malicious,” “unlovable,” “damaging to others,” and the worst one, someone to “rid from your life forever.” It devastated me to think that I was any one of these things to the people I loved.

Maddie’s Story
I’m here to share my experiences with panic attacks and anxiety. I’ve dealt with it for a while, since the beginning of 8th grade, and it has gotten worse. But, I learned to try and deal with it and if you can’t handle it, someone is always there to help you. Even if you don’t think you need help, it is always good to have someone by your side. I had all my teachers and friends by my side. I think the only time the anxiety was very bad was when I got to the gym one day. I sat out because my chest hurt and I thought it was a heart attack or something but I was assured that it wasn’t. So I guess it’s all going a bit better but I still have chest pains and I feel helpless at times but I know I’m not.

Anonymous’ story
I knew today was the day we had to do oral presentations, we were learning about poems and we had to present a poem. My teacher called on my to go up and present my poem. Back in fourth grade I was a good speaker and had been to competitions where I had to do oral speaking so I thought I had this in the bag, sadly I didn’t and my heart started pounding, for some reason I started my poem and then I don’t really know what happened, I started shaking and then I couldn’t speak. I had this huge lump in my throat and I couldn’t help but I started crying, I tried to stop crying but I got embarrassed and cried even more it was the worse day of my life. I then rushed out of the classroom and down to the bathroom.

Jackie’s story
When I tried to explain my depression to people close to me, they wanted to help right away. They said things like “just stop being sad,” or “get up and do something. You can’t just be upset and not change anything.” They didn’t understand how my illness works and what kind of language to use when talking about it. Since it is a mental illness, they had an “it’s all in your head,” mentality.

Jerri’s story
I work in health care which you would think would be an understanding environment but… I needed to miss work when I struggled most with bipolar (mostly depressive symptoms) and anxiety. I had FMLA and my manager was unbelievably kind and understanding. But the person that had to reschedule my patients and her manager felt I “looked just fine” so I should be at work! I always have felt people are judging me. Seven years later, I don’t share that I have bipolar in remission. I feel alone. I don’t feel people understand.

Naomi’s story
I have generalized anxiety disorder and also experience episodes of severe clinical depression. These facts have cast a shadow over the rest of my experiences. I was afraid that people would see me acting “abnormally” and think I was “crazy”. I would do my best to fit in and would withdraw from being around people during times when my symptoms got worse. I would have troubles making it into work and wouldn’t feel I really had a reason for not going. I just hadn’t been able to get out of bed that day. I felt bad about feeling bad.

Joel’s story
Mental health, esp. for men, is of keen interest to me. I have contended with anxiety/depression for much of my adult life. The stigma I have experienced as a result of my illness has been primarily self-imposed. Low self-esteem, a failed marriage and minimum wage employment despite having a Master’s Degree have all contributed to seeing myself as a loser for many years. The most painful part has been as a father to my daughter.

Danielle’s story
I live with bipolar I and I think I have a strange stigma experience. I accepted my diagnosis early and do all the medicines, therapy, exercise, etc., but I found I still had great difficulty functioning in the “normal” world. Sometimes I feel like there may be something wrong with me because so many other bipolar people lead nearly normal lives. Sometimes I feel like a quitter and this disorder has gotten the best of me.

Rick’s story
The hardest part of being depressed is that it’s hard to explain. Those around you want a logical rational explanation for illogical, irrational condition. This leads to misunderstanding, and confusion which just makes it all harder to deal with. Not being able to explain what I am feeling, what I am going through can lead me to feeling all the more isolated.

Katelyn’s Story
For me the hardest part about my mental illness was accepting and realizing that I had it in the first place. About 6 months after I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety I looked back over the past 5 years of my life and all the pieces fell into place. It felt so obvious after I had been diagnosed that I had been suffering for awhile, but when I was going through it I didn’t want to admit to myself that I had a problem and needed help because of the stigma. I was afraid of being bullied again at school, of telling my parents, and having people treat me differently or think I was unstable.

Jay’s story
My wife is being treated for clinical depression. She takes meds and is doing better now but I feel so alone. It seems to have come from nowhere and I feel like I’m to blame. The days I would come home from work and talk about the tough times in my day. I could have been more positive and that would not have happened. I have read enough to know this is more complex but it still feels like I could have and should have done more and this could have been avoided.

I have Borderline Personality Disorder, BPD which was diagnosed at a late age. Truly few people understand it, or me. People with Borderline are not dangerous. We need love. There are good resources for people to learn about us. Because of my family’s ignorance, I live alone. This makes my recovery difficult, but I am determined.

Austin’s story
I grew up with this hazy cloud that something was wrong with me, and that was only perpetuated by the cloak and dagger my family performed to hide that my father has Type 1 Bi-Polar. I think my parents wanted to hide and hope that it had passed me by, but that was not the case.
