I just feel so angry about the way that everything that I do is now being refracted because I'm "mentally ill". I honestly never thought I would have so many problems with stigma. I thought people would stick by me when I was ill, but the truth is that they'd all of preferred it if I'd just kept my mouth shut and pretended everything was normal

I know the feeling, and I'm sorry I hate the stigma that surrounds mental health: you say one thing and everyone runs away, even the ones who've vowed to stick by you. The media are so crap, if you have hallucinations you're a killer, jeez thanks They do care for you jonathan, it's just perhaps they are unsure about what to do? Let them know maybe what they need to do?

You don't have to pretend in here, though. It makes me sad that you feel you have to pretend. I feel I have to as well. It's easier to say "I'm fine/OK" and, in reality, when well people ask if you're OK I don't think they want to know if your not. They couldn't care less, imo. Just remember that we care.

I get to see my psychiatrist on the 31st of July (after I have seen two other people on the 28th) so I will be able to say goodbye. I know I have only seen her twice but still . She is lovely.
Hey everyone. Jonathan i'm so sorry that you have so much to deal with at the moment, but please know i'm always here for you!
Hope everyone is okay, i'm pleased you get a chance to say bye laus.
I'm on the train home now. Feel strange. Miss luke already. He's the only one i've been able to confide in really! Feeling anxious about seeing my dad. Have no idea why. I just can't deal with stuff at the moment. I hope this summer is good. Had a few texts off people who are excited to be seeing me! Yay!

Perhaps you could get her a card or something to say thank you and wish her good luck.
Sitara, you're a wonderful person, and you don't deserve this sort of unhappiness in your life. I'm so sorry. Please talk if you think that it will help.
