“I think there’s a lot of shame attached to mental illness because people who are born into a covenant or even converts think that they’re not supposed to have any problems. I feel like we are sent to earth to try to be like Christ. Sometimes members of the Church don’t take into account that having a mental illness is not your fault. Sometimes it’s just a side effect of life, but it doesn’t mean you can’t progress in trying to be like Christ. It doesn’t mean that you can’t recover, either.”
