I cannot wait until we stop using the term &quot;mental illness&quot; entirely. I have a serious medical condition. It is classified as a dread disease because enduring it is horrible. I also was molested and raped as a child.<p>On the one hand, some of my suicidal tendencies are rooted in physical, chemical side effects of what my condition does to my brain. On the other hand, there is absolutely nothing <i>crazy</i> about wanting my suffering to end and feeling like death is the only answer.<p>And it pisses me off, because it doesn&#x27;t have to be that way. But that is a rant I do not even want to get into at the moment.
