I have always thought of the stigma of being mentally ill was crippling and I wished that people knew certain things about what we go through because of it, the kind of people we are outside of it. I was wondering if I could get statements from people on this site who deal with mental illnesses, on what you wish people knew about you or a statement to break the stigma of Bipolar disorder and PTSD or simply something you want to share with the world. My goal is to put together a collection of poems and get them published and my goal is to incorperate the username or real name (if you're comfortable sharing) at the end of each poem as a dedication to the people who decide to give statements. Thank you for reading and I hope people decide to share, it can be anything you want to say, don't be afraid to express yourself whether it be who you are outside of this mental illness to the harsh realities of it. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day and hope you decide to share! :) 

P.S I'm big on advocation and volunteer work, so any issues you think need advocating for or volunteer chances are also greatly apprciated if you have any, I'm big on the whole "trying to make the world a better place" in any way I can
