We all have our burdens to carry. I think when someone tells me that I am behaving badly, or things aren't going well, then I have an obligation to examine my own behavior and change it if need be.

Mental illness can cause a lot of suffering, and not just for those that have it.

It's not fun, but we can't expect others to understand. They have a right to expect a certain level of appropriate behavior from us.

Compassion is always good, as is self-discipline and self-examination.
