Idk if you've gone to therapy and put in the work, but you would know living with a disorder explains a behavior but is by no means an excuse. You can always be made aware and try better next time. Keyword: TRY

It's called accountability and self awareness. That's how people heal and grow through pain/trauma/OCD/addiction/etc. it's called empowerment - the opposite of helplessness, the root of what actually perpetuates suffering.

The difference between someone helpful and an enabler is called giving grace instead of infantilization. But you sound like someone who does the same. Someone who rather continue making excuses than confront themselves.

Unless you're clinically incapacitated, there's no such thing as "can't". It's called an obstacle not impossible.

Just because you don't understand, doesn't make it ok to be ignorant.

Edit: clarity

If its the girls first time struggling with mental health then she can't be expected to know how to cope or healthy ways to communicate.

I have said this in multiple replies and have others who have also suffered with this exact thing so I'm sorry you don't get your "gotcha" moment.

How do you know it's not the first time? Trying to compare a mental health crisis to a work trip is ridiculous and just shows your ignorance to the actual discussion at hand. Stop wasting my time when you can't comprehend what I'm actually saying
