Suicide, A Personal Experience
I used to have suicidal thoughts on a daily basis, every single day I was thinking about how it would be better to die, what ways I could die so that it would be less painful for my friends, family and everyone else, how could I die so that it wouldn’t look like suicide, so it would look like an accident, what is the most painless way to die, is it selfish to want to die painlessly, am I...

When Did The Definition Of OCD Become 'I Like...
wikipedia-brown:
Real OCD is actually obsessively performing ritualistic, highly irrational routines that make no sense, for fear of something terrible (but unknown) happening. It is devastating.
It’s not ‘ooh, I don’t really like things to be untidy.’

I am very interested in schizophrenia, and I like to read journals and poems and look at the art that patients have made because I want to know how their thought process works and how they think.
This is a flash game made from their journals, and if you do play it you should not play just to win.

I think it’s really wrong that you feel this way for being ill because of a stigma when 1/5th of people are going to have a mental illness at some point in their lives. Why is it that so many people will experience a mental illness yet there is still such a huge stigma against mental illnesses in this modern age?!
It’s not right…
