The public doesn't care for us. they don't understand, and people fear what they don't understand. its basically the same as blacks and gays being shamed for most of american history. Except, we're the unsung minority because our difference isn't physical or easily defined. i think mental illness is like a superpower. It's like in x-men 2 when the government decides to start wiping out the mutants because they're unruly and powerful, even though a lot of hte mutants are trying to help and aren't malicious at all. This might sound cheesy, but I think mentally ill people need to take a stand together. We're being discriminated against and we need to start a movement like every other minority group has done. I'm sick of being treated like shit when I'm not at all that badand I'm sick of watching the people like me get treated like shit.
