Main thing right now: I have a mental illness, specifically the mood disorder Major Depression Recurrent Severe. Thanks to this lovely illness popping up regularly and without much warning, I tend to be doing well, then, suddenly have a nervous breakdown, lose my will for living, and drop out of school and/or lose my job, then, lose my home. Right now, I am homeless & jobless & on disability & completely dependent on family & friends, which is horrible. It is mostly horrible because I am a very intelligent, articulate, kind, wise, fun, loving, upbeat, independent & sociable person when I am not sick.
