I wear my mental disorder as a badge of honor. I see no reason why I should be ashamed of it; I've gone a lot further than many 'normal' people and I believe I can go even farther with treatment. It has given me the chance to look at the world in a way I don't think a 'normal' person usually does. I believe you are not judged on the hand you are dealt, but rather, how you play it. We weren't all dealt the same hand, so why should we think we can get by playing the same way? The only way gain is to have faith in your hand and your ability to play. Otherwise, you will loose the most important thing of all: yourself.
