I do not think you understand what mental illness is

It’s not an excuse if the mental illness is directly causing you to be miserable bruh

lmfao speaking as someone with diagnosed mental illness, everyone in this comment section is doing this exact thing. And yes, if you break your leg you SHOULD do your best to walk to the hospital. Would it be harder? Yes, but it’s not impossible. Mfers LOVE to pretend like once you’re mentally ill that’s it, and suddenly nobody’s suggestions are valid. It’s so much easier for people to say “it’s more complicated than you think” than it is for them take accountability and work on getting better.

I see where everyone is coming from, but I’d like to think this is about the people who refuse to get help and stew in their misery, and making it everyone’s problem

I’ve seen people abuse their mental health diagnoses in professional settings for benefits but i’ve mainly seen ppl struggle immensely to the point where i would congratulate them for asking for help. this isn’t the battle you should be fighting rn

When you hurt so long sometimes you stop being able to imagine things getting better, however it’s still gross and hurtful for loved ones to see

people that think like this make me so unbelievably mad. you clearly have no idea

Honestly I agree sometimes you have to take responsibility for your own happiness

i have some mental illness and i do understand where you’re coming from. it’s frustrating to see someone not get better but it’s equally frustrating and also draining to do basic human things. i would say mental illness isn’t an excuse to be a bad person but an explanation. mental illness isn’t an excuse to be miserable but it is the cause of misery

god YES. it’s the same thing as ppl using neurodivergence as an excuse to be lazy. the world will not accommodate some of ur symptoms SO U HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE URSELF. i have time blindness like a mf and i forget things all the time. so i set alarms and reminders. i have a mood disorder and sometimes cant control myself. so i excuse myself before i have outbursts. U HAVE TO ACCOMODATE URSELF.

How about: someones mental disability doesnt excuse what you say. My roomate is on the spectrum and is always blurting out blatantly rude comments. I made cookies and bro walks out and said my cookies looked like a mess, other day brodie called me weird for having diet soda (bros also 300 lbs). Like what

i agree that people should be held accountable for their behavior, but doing so by rejecting any form of understanding is not it 😭 this particular critique is very half-baked and doesn’t make much sense, but that’s yik yak for you
