I dont care if its someone with a substance abuse issue, a mood or personality disorder etc. We are all worth the same respect. Some just have a harder time in life than others.

My friend says that nobody really said anything bad to her either except her sibling said for a joke: let's dump her somewhere. I have faced so much prejudice and discrimination that I am sick to my back teeth goes the saying. I was pushed pretty hard. Nobody has called me crazy even though I was wild and have done some crazy stunts. But as you can see from my story I have had a really tough time proving myself to my family and escaping a bad relationship where I was not respected one bit. All because of the hospital stigma MORE than handling the mental unwelll phases and managing a condition. The stigma has had just as much of an impact on my life than my experience with clinical depression. It is a mad world.
