My life with mental illness.

i was diagnosed in 2004, my early 20's. I've been sectioned 4 times in 13 years. I cant work, I class myself as disabled by my illness, I claim benefits.

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia/psychosis when I was nineteen years old, about tweenty years ago. My life goals frozen there. I can not work or study. I am on disability I think. I do not have my own family, and relationships became difficult. I think there is stigma, and law sometimes discriminate. Although this condition, I continue with hope and positive about life. My mental illness turned out to be physical too lately.
