I cannot stand when somebody turns MH into pissing contest or pulls off the "you're not really ill" card. It's not a competition about who's more miserable, screwed up more, tried to off themselves more times, is on more meds with more and worse side effects (if you are miserable on your meds or treatment... it doesn't make you a special effed up snowflake. It may simply mean you have a worse treatment team then the person who seems to be better off).
