Not quite. In this world that's been fashioned for us, all mental illness is to the people running it is a liability, gunk between the gears. The profit that someone can squeeze out of you does not meet the amount of profit that can be squeezed out of a "more functional" person.
We are liabilities, and have to deal with the consequences of being this way, there is nothing else. There is no positive reinforcement that isn't two faced, or half-hearted. Everyone feels pity, resentment, or dismissal towards us.
As for appearance, its the first thing people see. People will always judge, unconsciously specifically. We feel as if we can trust people who look well groomed and kept than someone who does not. Its just, how we are as humans.
With your current problems, you are predisposed to more that will follow. You will either have to surpass these chains that shackle you, and try harder, way harder to live a functional life than any normal person has, or we can find peace.
I'm sorry if this is a very cutthroat, or callous reply, but I feel like the truth is better now, than to lead someone who is ill into the absolute deathtrap of life that awaits them without warning them of the consequences they will suffer due to their conditions.
