I hear you old man, cause it gets tiresome and I'm at the point where a smack in the head is something i welcome cause i feel i deserve it, but verbal abuse demeaning degrading me because of what my disorder has resulting in doing/not doing can cause shameful reactions that i cant bare to recall as to not fall deeper into depression, so please loved ones ,mates , anyone who chose to befriend a mentally ill person and truly wish to support, learn the methods to do so, cause Captain Obvious remarks, no matter how well intended, can be taken way out of context when mentally ill, support groups or pdfs are abundant, so if you look together and agree on the type of supportive actions as a trial, no fingers need to be pointed and another practice can be trialled
