I recently read a thread on a forum, not related to illnesses, about tolerance and disabilities. The thread starter was expressing his pain of being flamed in various settings because of his disability, Cerebral Palsy. Although this particular forum was for a common interest rather than illness support, the responses were amazing. Rather than the negative responses he had expected, many people showed support and shared their own stories. The replies took me over an hour to read, they went on for 20 pages. Only once did I see a negative comment. "
Depression is not an illness, get over yourself."
