Hi, my name is Keegan Gaskell.. I suffer from multiple mental health illnesses. Insomnia being the the one that kicks the majority of the off, & severe depression which is pretty much permanent. 
Does anyone else suffer from insomnia, depression, anxiety or psychosis?

    Hey Keegan, welcome to the boards dude <3

    I'm sorry and sad to hear that you suffer with those things:(

    I think there are many people here who can relate to those struggles. I (and my close family) think I have depression, and maybe anxiety - but I don't want to claim anything because I haven't seen a doctor yet, due to being scared. Regardless, I can relate to the symptoms and am struggling a lot mentally.

    Feel free to make a thread in Health & Wellbeing if you want to talk some more about what it's like for you - we're always here to support and listen:)

    It's great you've joined <3

    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley
