That just makes suicide all the more appealing.I can relate. From my experience in the workplace, there is no actual "taboo" about coming out and saying you have a mental illness.
Apathy and intolerance are the proper words. Most people I know in real life don't give a shit about anyone except themselves. And they dare to call themselves "normal".
They don't see you as a person, but a means to an end...
You're a number not a human...
You're only as good as your last mistake...
...etc....etc...
You're only looked down upon and/or mistreated if you cannot do the job or duty expected of you because of your mental illness.
