It's like saying to someone taking insulin for their diabetes. People are so misinformed about mental illness and say the most insensitive and offensive things.

PLease don't stop taking it without your doctor,s approval, could be very dangerous. People never ask diabetics to go without insulin, this makes me so angry. It is admirable to tell people you are on medication because the stigma needs to stop, but because people can be hurtful I am very careful who I open up to.
Oh no don't worry guys I'm not thinking of stopping my medication (at some point in the future and appropriately yes but not any time soon). It was just the first time I'd come across someone with that attitude 🤔
I don't know bout this god thing
