I know this is easier said than done. I too find myself feeling shame about being disabled from a mental illness. But you cannot change what people think. If they are saying something to you, maybe you can try to educate them or try not to let it get to you. Also, can you be projecting your feelings about your illness onto others? Please don't take of fence at my question. These are just things I've had to think about myself. Take care.
