I will tell you that my mental illness has been a Godsend. All my life I wanted to be normal like everybody else, but in this day and age, the mental illness has been an extremely effective hedge against media brainwashing. It's very difficult to brainwash somebody who is constantly under the influence of a powerful mental illness.

My mental illness is obsessive compulsive disorder and depression. The illness consumes all of my thoughts all day. I look at the world much differently than normal people do. I'm a glass 1/2 empty type person. I see everything that is wrong with the world. I would hire a person like me in an instant if I needed someone to find discrepancies with a product or a physical object.

SSRI's take the edge off so that I can hold down a job and function in society. It doesn't make me aloof or overly happy in anyway. The medication keeps me on the level so that I can go to work and pay my bills. You would never know that I'm on any medication whatsoever. If anything, I consider people like myself to be more sane than the average person because we are under the precise treatment that we need for the disorder that we have.

I my case, it's a very high dose of SSRI's for an anxiety disorder. A much higher dose than which is prescribed for depression by itself. The only drawback with the medication is that it seems to make me procrastinate a lot when it comes to house work. Without the medication, my house would probably be spotless.
