    I am so weary from feeling so ashamed of having a mental illness, no one to talk to honestly, hiding how you really feel deep down. We are real caring intelligent people and would just like mental illness to be as socially acceptable as cancer. Thank You very much!

    Most people suffering from mental health illness are of no harm to society, but are a great harm to themselves. Save a life and allow them to live again.

    Wondering how many more tragedies need to occur, both on a national scale as well as a personal scale, before mental health awareness and education are brought front and center.

    We need comprehensive reform for mental illness NOT mental health. For those who have found mental health recovery from their mental illness...we cheer for you and we are not talking about you. We are talking about those who are receiving treatment by jail, treatment by crisis, treatment by luck, inadequate treatment or no treatment at all. We need a mental illness system of care that will provide treatment before tragedy.

    Many events of late make it obvious that there is huge need to deal with the elephant in the room - mental illness. Let's stop talking about it and be about it.

    I have been diagnosed with severe and chronic mental illness. I am neither a criminal nor a danger to society. Please don't treat me as such.

    Enough time has passed without anything being done. We need to make people aware of the truth. Too many lives have been lost and it needs to stop. We need more facilities to help these people. I am willing to do anything it takes to these people the help and educate those who do not understand.

    It's time to get the truth out there, and offer resources for help. Talking about it, will help erase the stigma.
