As someone struggling with mental illness, I can surely feel the sting of much insensitivity. If only people knew the pain that lies underneath.

What if someone say, with OCD came out and joked about it? Like making that ice comment? Or someone with a disorder like that joked about it? Some people that's how they cope...

There is so many Scriptures that teach us to guard our tongues....it is a mighty little member of the body!But we have to consider where these awful,hurtful things come from.....the people who are so insensitive are those with hardened hearts,they need our prayers...they are in serious danger. I know it is sometimes difficult to pray for those that hurt us but the hurt they inflict is temporal....it is the eternal that we must stay focused on and their eternity is frightening....in Jesus Name,let us pray that the hearts of the cruel ones be softened that they may receive the Word and let Gods Will be done! With love,in Christ-Kwik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DRS81 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Depression is not fun. I have learned from my own illness and have educated myself through books, dvd's and doctors. Education is your best weapon. If one talks to me about my depression and doesn't understand then it's hard to take their critisism to heart. Hold on, it's gonna be a bumpy ride but smoother in the end. Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that is necessarily disrespectful. But... I do agree that mental illness can be devastating and extremely difficult, and people should understand that also.
