What do you do when your walked on by people that look down on you because they think your sub humann because you suffer from a mental illness? The other day and neighbor called me over to the fence because he wanted to ask me a question about a tool that I was using to cut branches and another person who is an extended family member walked over and interrupted the conversation while I was in mid-sentence and I was left standing there until finally I walked away. I sent him an email and told them how offend that I was and instead of responding to me he complain to his mother that I spoke like that to him. I was kind with my words just letting him know that what he did was rude but he didn't care. I was burning with anger all night and barely slept. But I did say one thing that if it happens again I'm not going to walk away and that I will confront him immediately on the spot even if I caused him embarrassment. I shouldn't have to step down just because I suffer from a mental illness.
