To me, they're separate from my personality. My Mental Illnesses make me someone I do not like. I'm very extroverted - my panic disorder makes it so I have to be an introvert sometimes. I tend to be somewhat touchy - my panic disorder makes it so I can't even be around people sometimes. I have other mental illnesses I'd prefer not to get into, as most people with Panic Disorder tend to have, and when they are rearing there ugly head that -isn't me-. I work really hard to keep my mental illness in check and am usually 90% successful, but it's a struggle and it's a fight every single day to work around my illnesses to be who I actually am.
Yes, They are a part of me, but no, they are not a part of my personality. And I refuse to let them define me.
