Some folks literally fight demons every day and think of how to make it stop! No one announces their inner thoughts!

what kind of situations are you talking about where someone uses mental health as an excuse? how does someone using mental health as an excuse signify that they "aren't truly suffering"?

Some act as if their mental health prevents them from progressing through life or they use it to avoid accountability in situations where what they’ve done or haven’t done has affected others, which I feel dummy’s down those that are truly suffering. Same way that I feel about those who claim that they autistic or self diagnose themselves

The more ppl try to use it as an excuse, the more it going to be pushed under the rug for ppl who struggle. The blame should be placed on those who fake it cus it gives those who are struggling a bad look.
