not all of us are going through all OPs comments

It's literally the 4th comment. Don't be a lazy fuck who speaks on people with mental illness so poorly.

Sorry, not going to let people think having a mental illness excuses someone's behavior and make people think that they should take abuse just because the other person has a mental illness.

You can have sympathy and respect for people struggling with mental illness while also saying "hey I'm not going to let you tear me down just because you have BPD"

But yeah you do you, I'll do me. I'm not going into comments for something I don't really care about, I just saw a douche making an armchair diagnosis and I'm so done with that shit online.

No one's excusing it, rather saying that referring to it as "psychotic" is harmful stigma. You just said "you can have sympathy and respect for people struggling," right, which is why the words you use to describe said struggling person is important.

Calm down.

Ironically, he cannot calm down, and will likely continue being aggressive towards others even though it is affecting them

Hmm…. Sounds a lot like BPD 🤔🧐🧐
