alanaisreading:  A diagnosis of a mental illness does not have to be the end of your story.  Photo: Stephen Fry and Carrie Fisher, text: Both successful actors. Both diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. Photo: Terry Pratchett, text: Had written over 40 books. Kept writing after his diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Photo: Abraham Lincoln, text: 16th President of the United States. Ended slavery. Suffered from recurrent depression and suicidal thoughts. Photo: Florence Nightingale, text: Founder of modern nursing and social reformer. Heard voices, had symptoms consistent with bi-polar disorder, and accomplished most of her great works from her bed. Photo: Dr. John Nash, text: Won the Nobel Prize for his work in mathematics. Diagnosed with schizophrenia. Never believe that you are useless. Everyone can find a place in this world. This makes me tear up a little. I feel like one can come out with a mental disorder just as much as someone can come out with their sexual identity. Why don’t people understand this?
