Yeh it seems people who are happy & functioning are near on incapabale of understanding someone who is not coping with the same things as they can (demanding work, stressful & busy lives etc). It seems like to them we are simply over reacting & over dramatising everything. Especially if your having trouble with anxiety or mood. They seem to get that psychosis is a big deal & not under your control luckily.
It's how I see people who damn drug addicts & say look at me, Ive never touched a drug. I see more pride in being able to say I've experienced & understand addiction & yet have overcome it (not all my addictions mind you).
