Schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and general craziness all run in my family. I have a half dozen family members (including nuclear family) who have been hospitilized due to mental health issues. I'm the "normal" one in the family and I struggle with anxiety and depression. I've been on meds twice: once after the death of my brother (they were a lifesaver), and once during a pretty bad bout with depression and anxiety. That time I didn't like the way they made me feel and quit taking them.
Yeah...I hold the crazy in all the time.
