Yes, I feel it is a BASIC HUMAN RIGHT to not only be treated for our mental illnesses to be SHOWN COMPASSION for it, not shown humiliation, not shown shame, not shown fear of us just because we happen to have an illness.....SHOWN COMPASSION!!!!

It hurts when we TRY to trust and it blows up in our faces..and we were simply trying to trust, that's all for heaven's sake!

Physical and mental illnesses they should be regarded the SAME both are illnesses.

I am tired of putting on a healthy face to the world i.e. I ran into my childhood next door neighbor...part of wanted to cry in her arms for all I've been through..

Instead I put on a strong face and told her of my successes, not how I fought tooth and nail to get there and it feels as though I am barely there!
