Description
These are all things that most of my friends and several members of my family know about but refuse to speak about. I can understand how/why many would make people uncomfortable, but there are others (such as the alters) that are sort of a fundermental part of who we are and when we switch and friends chose to ignore the alter and try to get them to go away and me to switch bac k out it sort of hurts...As for Isabelle... well i never got to talk about her, within about 2 days of her death everone else had moved on and got angry at me for talking about her or getting upset.
The self-harm has been going on since I was 6 (so 17 years) but bar sending me to a psychiatrist when I was 10 my family have not acknowledged it (they claim that the psych "fixed me" so now I am normal and fine).
If anyone has any questions about the others just ask and I will explain them.

this is amazing. I have bipolar illness and went to some studies about whether or not the children of people with bipolar will suffer the same illness... and I often worry about my son ending up like me, but so far so good.... do you often wonder if your family may suffer too?

I've heard people before say that it is irresponsible for those with MH issues to have children, but I think that's rubbish. What makes a good parents isn't their diagnosis, or lack there of. There are hundreds of "mentally healthy" people who are awful parents - such as my own. The only worry I would have is any genetic componant, but I don't think even that should stop a person from having a family. In some ways I think that our struggles and experiances may make us more understanding and sensitive to things which could in turn make us good parents.
I do feel like I am an AWFUL burden on my partner though

this is why I don't wanna have kids, might be genetic... Also, not sure if I could take care of them proprely. No one wants a depressive mother, right? And the planet is overpopulated anyway.
***I do feel like I am an AWFUL burden on my partner though***
Seriously, I feel the same way. Shame, all the time. Do you know ways to stop the shame?
