Anyone makes mental health jokes...

[Mystic]

I'd rather people condemn me seriously for my mental illness and judge me harshly  than mock the issue.

To laugh and make light of it, I can't stand.

I don't think many here would condemn or judge you harshly for an illness.

I condemn myself and judge myself harshly for the onset and the prolonging of the illness.  I consider myself almost fully recovered from the illness despite the need of constantly taking medications. And I believe one day I will be completely healed of the affliction but still for protecting myself and guaranteeing safety, I will not stop taking medications.

That said, I'd rather be compassionately condemned for it, then mocked for it. I don't take it lightly, and part of it was the gloom of despair that almost destroyed me completely. I don't take it lightly when I see and know people who not only don't recover but kill themselves due to it.
