Since it's part of the topic, I do think - again, just my opinion - that my mental illnesses are a part of my personality. I don't like them. I don't want them. But having them in my life in my past and now my present equal them being part of who I am. There are bad and good things that have come because of them. Their presence in my life has become part of my personality for better or worse. I see a psychiatrist and a therapist, and I do take medication. This is something I am actively working on. But that doesn't change the fact that it's a part of me, and an important part of me.
