Hi everyone. Thank you for the responses. I'm sorry I did the cut and run thing here, I avoid things I fear, and it feared that I started too much controversy. Or was too insulting or whatever.

But there are a lot of good points here.

I want to reiterate something I've learned. None of us with MH issues are bad - I see a hell of a lot more character in those of us who struggle to have good lives than I see in a. Lot of the public. It's the few who abuse the system for disability benefits or can't control violent tendencies who make the public fear MH issues and promote continued stigma. Most of us are pretty damned commendable actually.

Acceptance is Extremely hard for me to find.
