Yes, that's what hurts, isn't it? Funnily enough I had two messages yesterday from people who initially turned against me when she did; both were very supportive. I think they've seen the "real" her.
You know, it's not us who accept that we have mental health problems who cause the most trouble in this world. Most of the people I know with acknowledged MH issues go out of their way not to hurt others, or are genuinely aghast when they do. It's the people who think they're fine, or "just depressed", but seem to think they have the right to behave as they choose, no matter who they hurt, who cause the most difficulty for others in day-to-day life.
LOL sorry if I'm rambling; I'm tired!
