do you suffer from mental illness....? Or know someone personally that is suffering from it? if your answer is no then that's all I have to say about your "opinion". "picking yourself up and brushing yourself off" Wow, You should march right into a mental hospital, call a general meeting with the care workers and tell them that. You've found the cure for mental illness. Why I should just go to a patient with a broken foot to keep pulling himself up by his bootstraps. And that his broken foot is caused by lack of ambition and "stick to it" ness. in short, DONT TALK WHEN YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
