I dont care what other people are thinking of me or if they should think something of me, why I dont work or if I have a mental illness and if they should happen to know why I dont work, then they can think whatever they want..I really dont care. I dont care just because I know they have no understanding. I would encourage everyone who struggles with depression or other mental illness to just think **** those who think its ok to look down on people with MI". Who are they to define us or anyone for that matter. They have no clue what we are struggling with or they just dont want to understand, maybe dont want to understand with purpose so they can HAVE a reason to look down on someone so they can feel better themselves. I say so they can HAVE a reason since having a reason just because one have a MI is ridiculous! It really is. Remember that people who look down on others ARE having problems themselves. The same goes with obesity. If people had some empathy and understanding you wouldnt look down on obese people.

Like one said here about depression, healthy people dont even understand getting out of bed is difficult.
