That is certainly not true. Maybe there are some people who think you are not trying hard enough but you know what....screw them, they just don't get it.

If you are doing all the things you mention you are doing plenty.

I cannot tell you how many times people have said to me if you would only do this or that you would be cured. I had a long conversation last night with a friend who doesn't get it and has been trying to fix me for a year. After arguing with him for a year he is finally starting to get it. I said what if you broke your back and were in a wheel chair...he started to say but but that is different. I called BS on him and told him flat out there was no difference between a physical disability and a mental one. It is just the stigma and lack of understanding that says there is a difference. He finally said yeah I guess you are right.

Don't do it to please other people do it for yourself and screw what they think.
