**WARNING: pointless rant ahead, because I take things too seriously.

Well, on another site (I won't say which one), I made a comment on a picture someone made about mental disorders (talking about how people with MI can't just "snap out of it" or "get over it" etc). Someone made a really rude comment saying something along the lines of "My illness is worse than yours etc etc". They were saying how they had pyromania etc. I made a comment (I probably worded it wrong, I was really angry that day) saying how loads of people have problems and many are worse off etc. Then I said about my troubles (psychosis/schizophrenia, ocd and depression) I don't even know why I did but everyone else was. Anyway, this other idiot replied to me telling me "LOL, you don't have schizo. Stop saying BS and saying you "know all". Excuse me? I don't even know who you are?! Who are you to say my problems don't exist? Even though my teachers, parents, friends, doctors, psychosis intervention team are all concerned? Seriously, where do some people get their degrees in psychology?
I don't wear it like a freaking badge, but I am not afraid to stand up to people who seem to think others' problems are nothing. I mean, just because I don't talk like some kid using text-speech and have insight that means that I'm a fake? I actually laughed. Not every schizophrenic spend all of their time crouched in a dark corner rocking back and forth, unable to make a single sentence. You can't see it in me until I tell you of the things I experience, and I usually don't (except on this site) because I know people like THIS unfortunately exist, keeping this awful stigma alive.
I probably shouldn't have gotten involved, this just proves how some people think of the mentally ill. We are apparently "fakers" and not mentally ill OR schizophrenic unless locked up in residential facilities.
I know it was really pointless in writing this, I'm just so angry at the moment.
*punches pillow*
PS, if I said I had a physical disease, I bet money this would not have happened.
