Yes I agree that everyone knows someone will an illness, mental illness is super common and I'm happy to educate anyone who is open minded and willing to learn. It's not the fact that people don't understand mental illness that annoys me, it's the total disregard and unwillingness to understand that gets on my nerves. I'm more understanding if someone has truly good intentions but just don't know what it's like, that's actually very common. I'll be honest, I once thought everyone experienced mental illness the same way but then I learned that's not true so I know not everyone who is not educated has bad intentions.
