Can I think my way out of mental illness?
Spoiler alert: NO.
It's not often that I film when I'm struggling this much, and it's only possible after I've done enough self-care to get here. I have what I now have to accept is severe and complex mental illness, which despite the word "mental" actually has a lot of physical effects. There's also a degree of unpredictability. Also "anosognosia" is the word for people with mental illness not being fully aware of their impairment, that's a fun one I'll never remember.
Hey randoms. I'm DestroyerMariko. I have depression, Schizoid Personality Disorder, and some kind of dissociation issue which has (incorrectly?) been labelled "possible Dissociative Identity Disorder" in paperwork given to the government lol. Yeah I'm kinda just writing this bit for the YouTube algorithm. Have a potato. 🥔
Today's question comes from @jethrox827
