The hell with society, look at the people that mock other's? They have their own problems going on, but think they're fine. I'm not ashamed to have a mental illness, I've been through hell and back and managed to survive. Heck, I've even grown from the experiences I've had.
Stop worrying about society and focus on yourself and feeling better. Some people will smack you down no matter what you do, it's their problem, not yours.
If you allow it people wil chip away at your self esteem, until there's nothing left. Do things that make you proud and feel good about yourself.
