I have a chemical imbalance that, in its most extreme state, will lead me to a mental hospital… I am mentally ill. I can say that. I am not ashamed of that. I survived that, I’m still surviving it, but bring it on.

Carrie Fisher 

I don’t think a lot of people realize how much it meant to see one of their childhood heroes speak about something that you also struggle with. A topic that is usually kept in the dark or horribly stigmatized. Carrie Fisher spoke and joked about her struggles with addiction, depression, and bipolar disorder and that meant a fucking lot, okay?
