Yeah, society sucks for that - I think it may be getting a bit better, with a lot more media attention addressing mental illness and the stigma associated with it (granted, much of this overemphasizes depression and ignores other forms of mental illness). I'm sorry to hear about your experiences, and while I don't know what I can personally do to help, I hope you know that there are certainly people out there who care about you. Mental illness sucks, and society's ingrained stigmas suck, but often individual people (friends, family, random strangers you meet at a coffee shop) can help. I wish you the best.
