WHEN DID IT BECOME CHIC TO HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS
At first, the following quote from Megan Fox left me speechless:

"I basically read every book ever written about Marilyn Monroe. I could end up like that because I constantly struggle with the idea that I think I’m a borderline personality—or that I have bouts of mild schizophrenia. I definitely have some kind of mental problem and I haven’t pinpointed what it is."

If you ask me, Megan is just one of many actresses who longs to be compared to an icon. Marilyn was truly unique and struggled her entire childhood. Her mother was in and out of mental hospitals and her father was not around. Most of her childhood was spent in foster homes. It's very narcissistic of Megan to frivolously claim she MAY be dealing with a serious mental disorder. I hope she could meet others who are in recovery or still fighting their demons. Maybe then, she would not make such insensitive comments. Trust me Megan, you would KNOW if you had a mental illness such as schizophrenia. Also, try to be yourself and make a difference instead of striving to be someone you are not.

  2. That was very well said. Marilyn was so real and vunerable. I love her. Megan Fox is just f'ed up

  3. A relative of mine says, 'I am lucky because I know what I have', while others are still confused about their triggers and such.

    Megan Fox's comment does not surprise me, many people experience different personalities and make up excuses for their moodiness or joke and say its their mental illness.

    However, like you, I must stress that mental illness is no joke and should be taken seriously. If one is concerned about having a mental health concern I strongly encourage them to seek professional advice.

  4. Marilyn was an example of mental illness that was combined with such an extreme talent as we will never see again. In her case, sanity is overrated. In her case.
