I understand, but for many of us the mental illness causes problems in our personal relationships and at work. I have been alone for most of my life because the mental illness created problems with intimacy for me. It was the communication problems that caused this. If people knew that I was abused as a child and this caused me to switch into these other states and act out of character (misbehave so-to-speak) they would have been more forgiving. But since no one knew that I had this mental illness they are not forgiving if you act ugly.
Thanks for this!
