I love the people that say, 'you don't need to take that sh*t.' They don't realize that I'm functional because I do take medication. Duh!
Having a mental illness can be a gift in that it allows us to empathize with others who suffer from afflictions we may not fully understand. In other words, we become better people through suffering.
It doesn't mean we have to suffer fools gladly though.
