I Believe People Misunderstand Mental Illness

It's something people can't see from the outside, so it's not so important in their eyes. If you have a broken leg or something that's clearly visible and people will be sympathetic with you. But with a mental disability, a lot of people say to just suck it up or that you're just lazy or something like that. And in some cases they think you're just plain crazy, dangerous or an idiot. It's sad that people don't just get to know someone or take the time to read about it before making assumptions.
