<font color="purple"> Why is it that some people think (Should say that i am not saying anyone here necessarily does) that you can not have genuine mental health problems unless you were raised poor/working class/in poverty?
Was doing fine on a web forum till someone decided to latch on to the fact i wasn't raised in a working class environment .
Pointing out that it may have been middle class but it sure as hell wasn't ideal sent me from being accepted and reasonably liked to
enemy number one.
Whole thing really shook me up and distressed me (a) Because of the acute change of attitude based on something i had no control or responsibility over and (b(Because of the invalidation,rejection and trivialisation that occurred.

One sick(as in twisted) individual went as far as pretending to be supportive,
and like me still ,only to let me know sometime later it was a sham.
When your ability and willingness to trust is fragile and paranoia constantly lurking in the background due to past negative experiences
that is the very last thing you want done to you especially when you are in an emotionally distressed/confused/and hurt state anyway.

The stupid thing is that since living independently ie not with my parents i have lived anything but a materialistically opulent middle class lifestyle.

Being unmeployed and indeed told that work is not a viable option due to
your illness hardly places you as one of the middle class elite living in a Utopian paradise.
Neither does living for 7.5 years as my late wife and i did in a succession of
one room social security BB(Bed and brekfast) lets or bedsits in the less than reputable
private lets with Rachmann fan club landlords that are the ones you can afford.
Not forgetting spells of living in a tent and a 9x6 caravan sans toilet( with 16 year old highly sexual step daughter in tow) .

Yet there are those who would dismiss me and indeed despise me on account of things i had no control over ie an upbringing that was indeed one of comparative material comfort but certainly not environmentally anywhere near Utopian and ideal.
