Tell you to get over it after a suicide attempt? Oh my, that's awful! That's one of the biggest, if not, THE BIGGEST challenges in being able to get proper help and progress in our illnesses: this stigma that still surrounds mental illness because people don't think it's a big deal. People are uneducated and so they want to tell us to "get over it". I wish others could finally accept that mental illness is a REAL thing and that you don't just "get over it". We would all benefit tremendously from that! ThanksDawnieDollface! HUGS!
