Thank you. I'll expand:
I have a serious distaste for all things PC; so please see this every way but the whole 'everyone is special' or 'no one is different' school of thought.
Mental illness is like anything else. Everyone has their problems. Each problem is hard in their own way. People who have never experienced waking up feeling like a monstrosity, or staring in a mirror and having your head swim, or acting obsessively out of a current state of mind. Losing it is hard.
It's all an issue of perspective. My step-father will never understand how difficult it is because he has never experienced something that complex. But his peak of discomfort is just as important as mine. Even though his might seem small to me, he doesn't understand how I gauge. So I don't resent him for being unaware. And I certainly wouldn't wish this on him.
i try not to let it limit me, and when it does i make sure not to let it dissolve anything i built for myself.
