You know, I think the diabetes thing is redundant, but the point (I think) of saying it is that just like having diabetes doesn't make you a bad person, having a mental illness doesn't make you a bad person.

So yeah. I buy that comparison for that reason.

Just like any illness, however, whether physical or spiritual, there are things in our environment that can make it worse or better. There are things that we do that can make us feel better or worse.

We are all just human beings. We have to accept our limitations and embrace our superpowers.
