Yeesh, it would just be nice to receive something other than criticism and derision from so-called normal people when they encounter the reality that it is indeed difficult for some people to do the things that "normal" people take for granted. I think people without mental health issues should cut those who do a little slack. Instead of criticizing, they should try to understand and maybe even help the person with MH issues. At the very least, just treat them with respect verbally and non-verbally.
And, no, I'm not excusing bad behavior by anyone. I just don't like to see those with MH issues judged and treated more harshly than those without MH issues for the same offense.
