These are all things people have said about others with mental illnesses and me and my reply/thoughts.

"They are so horrible!"

The most kindest people I have ever met had mental illnesses.

"But they can't socialise properly"

You don't decide what talking is, sometimes one word can be a whole sentence.

"She's so dark"

You would be too if you felt how she feels. Be kind

"She's no use to nobody"

You end someone's life with those five words. Be careful, words can destroy lifes.

"She doing it for attention"

Why would she be attempting suicide for others? This is about her not you.

"God! Calm down"

I'm having a panic attack, shut up. I can't control what my mind thinks I should panic about. (and you wonder why I slapped you)

"Just be happy!"

That hard as I'm sad. That like me tell you to stop bleed when someone stabs you.

"God I would die for..."

Would you really? Don't make suicide threats, when they're people who wished other didn't.

"But am I not enough?"

It isn't about you,my brain is just not working properly

"It isn't stigma!"

Well you are saying these things, without any facts or understanding of mental illnesses
