It would really depend on how people treat/view you and how you view yourself. If you are surrounded by people that view your illness negatively you most likely will feel shameful of it. People's negativity can obstruct a positive outlook on yourself causing a person to experience shame in their illness.

I'm not embarrassed of my illness or being hospitalized, I just do my best to cope and not let negative feelings influence me. I don't like my illness nor have pride for it, but I accept that I have it and try my best to accommodate my limitations.
