I really related to the Joker. A lot of the emotions the film brought up were not unusual to me. I have been where he was dozens of times over. I felt like this movie gave a dignity to what I went through. I felt less alone.
The difference between the Joker and I is that I found someone who cared for and loves me. My husband Matt is what I have to lose. I don't think I would ever be homicidal but definitely suicidal.
I have said the exact words "when you have mental illness people expect you to behave as if you don't" long before I saw the movie.t made me more grateful for my husband and my life.
I am so happy this was made.
Amazing!
