Trail_7: I have depression. It affects me by for example my going back to sleep 5 times since it seems like the better option than getting out of bed. This makes me miss plans I made.
Stereotypes are that people like happy people. That I am not in control of my depression and therefore self and not ready to make my own family.

DIAMONDfire: I have schizophrenia, a few brands and some related ones. Makes things dangerous by degrees of approximation, hallucinations an environmental hazard , like. Must protect myself, very grateful to welfare, but hard. The further you fall the harder it gets, must stay afloat.

Trail_7: I also have irregular sleeping patterns. However even right now I was going to sleep but instead kept thinking so I got up to find something online but then I started getting more energized when I listened to more energizing music so now I am confused if I should still try to sleep. At one of my job interviews last year, I mentioned my sleep is not regular and so she told me to get that sorted before applying since I need to be there, and even myself I doubted that I could show up to the morning shifts on time.

DIAMONDfire: Yeah, as well as giving you more energy it puts you to sleep is what I've found. Pasta is good for it, it bloats you but I don't think it really puts on fat.

Trail_7: I gained when I ate more carbs before. Gained in the belly area. Plus backside too maybe. I used to eat more when I was working a physical job, but I think it was a healthy mix of carbs/protein/fats that time and I didn't gain but even lost weight/had toned legs.

DIAMONDfire: Its a gross simplification but a handy one the problem of mental illness and life is one of balance.

DIAMONDfire: Balance as an aim, equilibrium in all senses. If you adhere to God its God in all things but for different people's God prescribes different things. A helpful universal is that when you seek God will open a path for you always, but whenever a person seeks a door is opened.
Mental illness itself to my understanding is an imbalance, based on a general health law accounting for the disease/illness.
Maybe its a cliche but general balance.

Trail_7: It's just perhaps hard to find in such a life, however my life did used to be more stable.

DIAMONDfire: Throughout my life a few words have stuck with me, balance is one of them, another one is do what your heart tells you to do or what you really want to do. We are all battling to cross the ocean of material existence, its good to remember that.

Trail_7: Well, when I follow my heart it always seems to lead me to a dead road sooner or later, more like sooner though. It was when I was told what to do by my mother when I was younger that things worked out more for long term. Sometimes I don't , ah nevermind.

DIAMONDfire: Some people grasp the object (in life).. while the other side of the coin is leaving the object to be for others to see.. this particular tactic can yield ie. is the yield of a problematic (situation)...

I'm into understanding (mental illness), not trying to intimidate..

Trail_7: My depression also affects my job stability, relationships, since I sometimes felt too emotionally affected or sad to meet someone or go to work. The stereotypes sometimes were that I just do not want to, am lazy also perhaps. It or the adhs also affected my organization and finishing what I start as I start something long term in length but then don't do it regularly.

DIAMONDfire: adhd or autism or asperges syndrome are all blanket related to attention or the ability to concentrate and make overt decisions, for oneself. When that object (goal, ie. decision) is not grasped properly, confusion can intercede. in between people.

Its a confusing thing I've chopped at my diagnosis (schizophrenia) from all sides, I have a tendency to group and generalise.

I'm not sure whether depression is as severe as that.
