It is exhausting trying to explain to the uninformed what mental illness is and isn't. Wouldn't it be something if all the know it all people who are unwilling to expand their teeny, tiny brains enough to try to understand, were to walk in the shoes of the mentally ill for a day, a week, a month, or a year just for the enlightenment experience? I'd volunteer all of mine to anyone just to see if they had a different opinion afterwards. I'd let any volunteer keep them too!!!
