It makes me really mad when people who have MI are reduced to their disorder, or treated like they're stupid or dangerous. In one instance one of my coworkers at my last job (child care) started talking about how it should be against the law for mentally ill people to teach, because they had no business being around children. I was hurt but I had no idea what to say, since no one knew about me other than my immediate supervisor. All I could think to do was change the subject.

I mean really. Have some respect. I don't talk about people with Alzheimer's like they're stupid, I don't treat cancer like it's catching.

LOL. Very true.
