This was on CNN this weekend. It's something that needs to be more in people's vision and hearing. We are out here, it is real, and we desperately need the help & support of others.
Not all of us go on killing sprees, in fact most of us would prefer to be left alone and kill ourselves to get rid of the pain and problems we feel we cause to those around us. Understanding and education are the keys to helping those with mental illness. Laying blame on the mentally ill or a family member only hurts them and lessens the chance that medical and psychological treatment will be sought.
Stop the stigma and start the discussion.
