There’s so many shoutouts to mentally ill people who still manage to succeed at school or work and it’s not that they don’t deserve praise and respect, but here’s to the mentally ill people who

• Get bad grades
• Fail classes
• Dropped out of school
• Lost their job
• Are unemployed
• Are on welfare benefits
• Rely economically on family members or a partner

Your worth isn’t defined by how productive you are or whether you live up to society’s demands and expectations and you are just as worthy of respect and compassion as the mentally ill person who juggles a university education with a full time job.
