Task 4: Do you think or notice that getting older has an affect on mental illness?

I absolutely believe and notice that getting older does have an affect on mental illness. I noticed that as I finished up my teen years that the sporadicness and intensity of my mood issues has balanced out a lot better now. However, due to changing situations and becoming an adult, now, I have so much more stress in my life and I live on my on. This just makes functioning that much harder. It is harder to get motivation to do what I need and because I am living alone, there is nobody to help me with keeping myself in line. That is something that I am really having to work on now because it was horrifyingly easy to completely let myself go and now, I need to fix my situation up.
Task 1- When it comes to crimes committed by those with mental illnesses, it really depends. I have experienced psychosis before numerous times. In that state, it is real easy to lose control of yourself. However, otherwise, I still have a solid sense of somewhat having a handle on myself. But, not everybody has the same experience as I and many have trouble staying in control of themselves. And, in general I feel like most are to blame because people do make their own choices in life. However, I won't blame someone completely if they had a complete loss of control, sense of reality, etc. In that sense, I feel sorry and believe they need more support because that situation is horrific and spirit breaking.
Task 1- How do you feel about crimes committed by the mentally ill? Do you blame them personally or feel sorry for them?
