i disagree with this statement because it gives the impression that those of us like myself with "mental problems" or mental illness deliberately pass on our depression, hurt, anger -- whatever -- to others and/or are to blame for how we feel. i'm not responsible for my bipolar and i don't choose to bring other people down with me whenever i'm feeling depressed or angry. instead, i go out of my way to avoid others so that i don't end up saying something i don't mean. (if i misinterpreted your post berry, let me know.)
