Am I the only one who thinks that self-pity is the most debilitating factor of mental health? All the talk about ending stigma and offer support is well and good, but I fear it creates an atmosphere of "oh, I can't help it anyway". All the support I've received has been appreciated, but until I took charge of the situation, it was pretty useless. You exist. You decide your destiny. If you consider your state to be a disease that can be fixed, you're stuck! Embrace it, and seek the appropriate therapy and meds! Rant over :)
