LGBT News Mental Health and Bisexual Women

Interesting. I'm still questioning but think I may be bi and certainly can relate to not fitting in anywhere. I have to say people here seem pretty accepting though.

 

Fascinating. I actually have schizoaffective disorder (bipolar and schizophrenia). No, don't run away, no voices are compelling me to kill people.

 

I hear voices too, I'm told they are pseudohallucinations.

 

^ I have schizotypal personality disorder. so not quite the same. but that's *the* first thing I want people to know. is I'm not violent due to it. I don't tell a lot of people that.....

 

misslovely, don't you think the large majority of people misunderstand mental illness? A true statistic is that less than 5% of violent crime is committed by the mentally ill. That would blow most peoples' minds. And lots of people confuse mental illness with other disorders, such as sociopathy or psychopathy. Mental illness isn't about not having a conscience. Most killers can think clearly.

 

Interesting read, thanks for sharing

 

^ oh.......I actually didn't know about the large majority thing. or the 5% thing. so. thank you.
