At least I'm getting some help finally, regardless of how.

Of course what he is doing is just terrible ignorant and plain rude. You can handle this a few ways...

Take it personal and let it drag you down and doubt yourself or....

Take it for what its worth coming from someone that is ignorant and foolish.

You can turn the other cheek and just ignore him and realize that even tho you have a mental illness , you are indeed a much nicer kinder smarter well rounded human and not a stupid bully type like him.

Im not being a smarta$$ , I'm just wanting you to see his actions for what they are , ignorant and foolish and proof that he has more issues than you do
