Living With A Psychotic Disorder

My life living with a mental illness.

When you truly do not want to believe that you of all people have a mental illness. Let me tell you I do not want to believe it everyday of my life. Everyday I wake up and I am just like, "why did God choose me?"

They say that God only gives you what you can handle, but some days are just too much for this girl. Have you ever sat in silence and heard another girl talking to your boyfriend in your own house, but no one was really there? That is my life almost everyday.

I recently took up counseling because I could not stand being this way anymore. Why did it take me so long to go? Well, because in my mind everything I hear and see is real. It sounds real and looks real. It is completely wild.

I seriously live my life everyday thinking my boyfriend is an asshole cheater who thinks he is cool because he has another girl living in the house. I tell him to grow some balls and be honest with me, but everyday he claims he is honest and innocent and I just cannot believe him.

Really fucked up right!? Sad part is I can't control any of it. This all started once I met Brook, which is another reason it is so hard for me to comprehend. I truly am a happy-go-lucky person, but as of recently, I have been the complete opposite.

Now I am seeking help. Every other week, I go see a therapist and I have also been put on medication. I hate medication. I never had to take anything my whole life and now I do everyday. I try to see the big picture, but it is really hard for me to do that some days.

My biggest goal right now is to be able to sleep without the tv on and to be more positive when I do see or hear shit that is not happening. I am also in a group online where other members deal with the same problems.

What is your mental illness?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
