For myself, this is the *only* place where my condition is fully understood. Psychiatrists can't comprehend; certainly not therapists. I'm tired of having my level of disability questioned. Friends can only be sympathetic rather than empathetic.
Just as I couldn't possibly imagine the horror of physical torture since I live in a democratic state, unless you've first-hand experience of serious mental illness I doubt one can appreciate fully the horror of the *mental torture* it visits upon you. Simple as that for me.
