Hey guys, I just join this community. So.. something to know about me, I had find out about my mental illnesses around 2 years ago. And although it did take me arond one year to accept it, since i had grow in an environment where mental illnss people are consider.. outcast or pitiful. but fortunatly, i have find some friends who accept me, and one of them is the one who had help me to accept myself. that's all i guess. but if you want to know more, feel free to ask.

@dianayang510 well welcome! One question I have is how do you cope with your mental illness? What keeps you motivated to get and feel better?

I am glad you ask. Somedays, It can get very challenging to just wake up. But, I just remind myself that there are people who are always be there for me (in this case, some of my friends- we treat each other like family). I cope with them by doing some things that relaxing me (listening to music, doing excercise). Another thing that motivates me to jsut survive another day, is that I know by fighing against my mental illnesses, I can be a living evidence that mental illness people are not what they think. Plus, I also help others with their problems, whenever they thank me for helping them, I just feel like this is worth it. No matter how hard or hopeless the survival gets, I will continue to fight it.
