Why should we feel shame for being mentally ill?

Haven't we earned our way through no matter what? We've been here struggling three times as hard, because we simply cannot do anything else, but pick up where we left off, and hope for a better day. I never been so blessed happy to live through what I lived through so I can share with others, and not be shy. Be accepted, because believe me honey, there is a lot worse we can be than what we go through daily.
 
ALways your friend, Lonewolf.
