We've all been told that mental health isn't just something you can power through with strong will, but it never quite clicked for me until I did a genetic test. My doctor was able to clearly show that my brain is swimming in dopamine and adrenaline and cannot get rid of it, and that's why I have bipolar and adhd. It made me think- I literally have bugs in my source code. I'm a miracle that I can function and live a fulfilling life despite all the glitches in my genetic makeup. And that helped me be more in awe of all I've done, instead of feeling like I'm full of defects. - Human
