Mental illness, my foot

Quote From: gigilola

I wasn't expecting that but I guess I deserve it.  You've made me teary eyed and I feel a little stupid but it's my fault.  Maybe that's my problem.....I am not ready to admit that I have a mental illness.  I so very much want to be normal but I guess I just am not.  I guess I have a lot of thinking to do.....

Now you're letting the stigma that gives us so many problems get to you. It's an illness like diabetes or arthritis is an illness. You get diabetes, you take meds. You don't wonder how you got it or why God gave it to you. It's just a fact. Bipolar disease is a genetic illness that you get because someone in your family tree had it. It's just a fact. Everyone in this world has something they have to deal with. We get bipolar disorder. We just have to do the best we can.
