I almost forgot - I had a 'friend' tell me that he thinks I'm only depressed and I just need to "respect" my struggles and work through my issues. I asked him when he got his degree in psychology and should I respect my psychosis too? I should invite him over during my next bout of crazy and let him see how respecting this gets a person nowhere. I have to take the meds just to function at a somewhat acceptable level and even that is a stretch.
I am so sick of people without mental illness thinking they have all the answers.
