Those who live in glass houses, should never throw stones, so you should be safe here. After twelve trips to the mental health unit, God knows I will not be doing any shunning. We have all been on the receiving end though, even if we did not know it, and the only thing I can say is ignorance breeds ignorance. There are a lot of people who don't want to know that we suffer from an ILLNESS, not a weakness. The way my first counselor made me feel better about all the "stupid" people out there, is to tell me "The reason they are so rude about it, is because they are scared of it. They are one sneeze away from being in the same shoes, and it scares the hell out of them." WE ARE THE STRONG ONES, BECAUSE WE ARE SEEKING HELP!!!!
