That's just it, a lot of times it's the one's who who have as supportive family and a place to live that can get over it and live a bareable lifestyle.

When I took psychology, we had a few speakers that came in and talked about mental illnesses. When these people are given a chance by loved one's or at least someone who cares, they often find ways to live with their illness, when they are either rejected, or just don't have family, and don't have a home, and no one cares about them then how the hell are they supposed to live with whatever they have? It's really tough, and apparantly just as tough to understand, based on this thread.
