Angry News,and media's condescending remarks about "mental illness"

It was a terrible tragedy that happened in Arizona. It doesn't make sence. People have been killed there,and that's horrible. A young man shot many people,and some of them died,and some of them are hanging on for their lives.

In the last few days they have been talking about mental illness in the news. Their words have been very cold,and condesending towards the mentally ill. I saw the Charlie Rose show this morning,and they where coldly talking about mental illness right to our faces.

This made me sad,and angry. Most people with mental health challenges are gentle,caring people who are fighting for their lives,and wanting to be accepted by society. Then you have sloppy news reports like what I've heard. It's like the dark ages again.

They haven't been really constructive about anything to do with mental health.

I may be mistaking,but aren't they telling people to report people who are struggling with mental health. Calling us loners,and etc.,etc.

It's all sad. BF
