I'm so sorry. I think a lot of us feel this way too. I think unless you have been there yourself, you just can't understand. And even when you've been there...we all have different histories and backgrounds and life stressors on top of mental illness.

I hate the most how stigmatized mental illness is, but they will be choosy. For example, bipolar, depression, schizophrenia, panic disorder, PTSD, that's all bad. But then talk about eating disorders (and I'm leaving out EDs that lead to obesity because I feel people judge them differently), and if you have anorexia or bulimia, but especially if you are noticeably too thin, THAT is not a stigma, even if you have anorexia, which is the most deadly mental illness out there. People can be idiots sometimes.
