Don't let the stigma decide what's best for you.
I really try to not let it bother me, I even try and advocate for it; especially, because I run an empowerment blog. It's just hard. Sometimes, people are like lemmings, and we start to believe and think like everyone else. The stigma of mental illness is very powerful; especially, when your support system is so weak/non-existent.
