Ok... I know that there have been many positive steps, than mental illnesses are much MUCH better understood and accepted than they used to be... but it just seems so unfair.

Physical illness is treated so much better. People instantly accept it. They don't give you the "weird look", they don't think twice. They don't change their opinion of you. Some physical illnesses do break this rule to some degree - if you're told you'll die in xxx amount of days that's an exception. But generally, no trouble.

now, MENTAL illnesses, there's the catch. They can take away all your rights. People look at you different, sorry but they just do. So much of the time. Some people are GREAT about it some people are AWEFUL so you have to be careful who you tell and who you don't.

People say to trust... that it helps to get better, but I've found trust has just blown up in my face BECAUSE it's a mental illness I'm facing.

Friends... who just look at you different , that HURTS... how people can take away your basic rights... just ANYTHING.

Fed up with how society treats mental illness so much of the time
it makes it so much harder to live with...

Ok. Done with the rant, hope that didn't trigger or upset.
