There is stigma with mental illness here too. I think it is the same everywhere. Most people do not realize that mental illness does not necessarily mean you are licking the walls or planning murders. I liken it to fibromyalgia. It is just pain in a different way.

I don't know. If you figure it out and come back, I can try to be encouraging.
