I know from firsthand account that a lot of us can get better.
Maybe we aren't cured (don't really know about that for sure), but we can learn to manage and get better.
Some may get better enough to be fully functional and then some.
Some may achieve part of that.
Some may achieve lower levels of that.
But ALL should have a right to try (in my opinion).
So I have one question: where do you go to find a place which is really interested in you getting better and living a "healthy" (as opposed to "ill") life?
Because I want to find that place - no matter where it is. And then, I want to encourage others to do it too.
Maybe its just a pipe dream - but why does it have to be? From now on, I want my discussion not to dwell on "mental illness" but on real "mental health".
(I don't know whether to give this the "trigger flag" or not - but I'm not going to because I don't think it should be one - I hope its not for anybody)
