What do you think of people with mental illnesses?
Mon,
I think of people the same way I think of anyone else. I suffer from OCD and am a recovering anorexic/bulimic myself. I try very hard not to look at anyone with prejudice. I wish mental illness was a more talked about subject and wish there was more empathy, funding, research and help. I treat everyone with the same optimistic starting point until the individual gives me a reason to think or feel differently. How do you feel about them?
I have OCD too. I agree with you ☺
