My Lifelong Illness and How Rhett and Link Help

by Emily Adelia (PuffinCorn)

Jul 10, 2016

I have a very long and complicated diagnosis of Mental Health Illnesses. My official diagnosis is Bi-Polar with Psycosis with Borderline Personality, PTSD, and OCD Tendancies. I also have agoraphobia (the fear of going outside ones home) Every evening I watch GMM. It has become a way for me to connect with like minded people in a safe way without leaving my home.

I have suffered for years with my illness and even on my bad days, Rhett and Link are always there online to cheer me up with their comedy and insanity. Even though most days going outside is very difficult I love knowing I am still part of some community. Even if it isnt in person.

    I also have Bipolar I, PTSD, Anxiety, and Agoraphobia. I know how awesome it is to be able to go onto YouTube and find the two goofy guys and their mythical crew who allow me to forget for a while at least about my issues. And they also allow me to refocus my kind. My Service Dog Millie and I love to sit on the couch and cuddle and watch episodes.

    I hope your doing well!
