Mental illness

I have a mental illness. But I’m no danger to you. I’m more likely a danger to myself. I don’t hate you. I am more likely to hate myself. I don’t write manifestos. I’m too busy just trying to keep my own life stable.

This is why President Trump’s support for more money for treatment of the mentally ill is so unconscionable. He’s not proposing this out of compassion for the mentally ill or lack of resources for treating the mentally ill or the need for greater understanding of mental illness. No, it’s to keep the mentally ill from ravaging America’s Walmarts.
