I wrote this post after coming across people who talk about mental illness as if it is something cool to have. As a person suffering from bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and PTSD, I find this kind of mentality a little uncool. 
People with these diseases are fighting day and night. There's nothing glamorous about the struggle. We should give them the respect and understanding they deserve.
