I run a support group for mental illness you can check it out here. I've also made an awesome new friend who is very supportive.
I decided to start the group because I suffer from mental illnesses myself (paranoid schizophrenia, anxiety, panic attacks, depression) and wanted to help people.
iggy:
I suffer from bipolar disorder type one, with schizo effective tendencies. Much of the time, when I tell people this they seem shocked. They tell me that I seem like I have it all together. That I seem so sane. It's sad that the world, for the most part, is so misguided when it comes to mental illness and mental illness awareness. It's as if having mental illness automatically makes you insane, broken, somehow less worthy.
