Carolynn Testani: I have been through similar situations. No, it does not bother me.
Alma Twomey: You should not think of other you should keep your mind cool and enjoy your life!
Scot Rotruck: Yes people on the internet and in the real world are very insensitive. The is a lot of people who use the others experiences to get pills to get messed up off. When people see my scars those who know them just smile those who are ignorant talk to me about god and preach to me. Most people like myself in the medical field are sensitive to people and dont judge others.
Janeen Perona: Yes. There's definately a problem with mental and emotional health issues being looked down upon or ignored. It's gradually getting better, though.It should also be noted that some people make jokes as a coping method. Joking about something can make it seem smaller and easier to deal with. Lightening the mood can also be quite helpful when dealing with the stress and such that comes w! ith any health problem. I'll admit that I almost did so myself at the end of the first paragraph up there, mentioning how glad I was that some outdated and dangerous "therapy" techniques are no longer in use.Nurses and doctors, having to deal with such issues on a regular basis, are likely especially prone to making jokes about sensitive subjects. If they let themselves get emotional and invested, it won't take long for them to have an emotional breakdown.The best that I can recommend is that you tell people that their joking makes you uncomfortable. Repeatedly, if necessary. Next time you need to visit the hospital, make a sign to tape by your bed that clearly informs them what subjects are off-limits and must be treated seriously.Other than that, I'm afraid you'll just need to innure yourself to the comments. Either become unnaffected, or learn to appreciate the humour. I have no idea how you should go about doing that, but I wish you luck....Show more

Buddy Ardd: no, but I volunteer in a company that develops Apple and Android applications for mentally disabled people, specifically autism.However, words like "ret@rd" still come out my mouth without much trouble.
Jonelle Eligio: I have been in situations which do not allow me to be forthright about the mental disorder with which I suffer from.Unfortunately the general population is not educated enough as far as the different aspects that are presented at such a time. I have even come across many doctors who are specialists in their field who also do not understand such disorders as well.At this time! I do admit to anyone other than those whom I feel that I can trust and are able to handle that information without make fun of it or come to a point where that person becomes stigmatized about mental health in general.Bottom line, you need to be very cautious when you divulge this information to anyone. This is the only way in which you will be sorry for in the future....Show more
An Trebil: Yes.I curse my fate when I see such incidence. It is all due to bad luck.
Corey Rohleder: Simply put, yes people are often insensitive of others, but generally not intentionally, they just don't put themselves in the other person's shoes. But I don't think it's insensitive to tell you that if you're doing something that is causing you harm you need to stop it and get help either. Do you want to be helped? I think maybe people who put up with these types of things daily (family, friends, doctors and nurses) really do care and may sometimes seem insensitive because they'v! e had to put up a hedge to protect themselves from the emotional turmoi! l of constantly dealing with people who don't seem to want their help and appear regularly with self-destructive tendencies. It may be hard for a person who doesn't have such thoughts to understand why a person would want to harm themself in that way. You need to put yourself in their shoes as much as they need to see things from your vantage point....Show more
