I get you. One moment lm functioning like a stable and responsible person with a clear mind. When l get the cycle of getting absolutely bedridden and then not being able to think clearly people take it as l am an attention whore and it is an act, like wow. Way to go, buddy.
sometimes i feel like people forget
mental illness is a thing that literally like controls your
brain and sometimes you're not being logical or how you used to be but not because u want to
like yea i sure love being depressed and laying in bed being anxious thinking everyone hates me for weeks haha
l think that people are aware but at the same time they have their eyes closed. Because l have seen this happened more than once, not just with mental illnesses. l think what is very common neglect on people parts too is autism (I'm not the best to talk abt this, l just have noticed a pattern). People are aware of it but when they meet one they are absolutely human garbage towards them.
Another thing that annoys me is that when you explain your state to someone and they say you are using your illness as an excuse, like thank you. lm might be mentally ill and it doesn't disregard me of being accountable for my actions but really at what point having ups and downs on your mental health is an excuse. l would get that if l had done something wrong and would try to claim it on my mental state but no. l get shit on because lm having
ups and downs. I've been told before when I've been manicdepressed to "stop being like that it makes me uncomfortable" like lmao that's just not how it works.
