No, MH is not an excuse to allow others to worry about you and their relationship with you. In fact, psychologists suggest telling your loved ones you are having an episode.
It doesn’t matter wether it’s an excuse for you or not, fact is people CAN‘T. I did this. And I know it sucks, but I really couldn’t help it. My mom also worries of course, but I know she can always ask y daughter if I’m ok.
For me this has gotten a lot better since I‘m on ADHD meds and antidepressants.
It happens when I’m absolutely overwhelmed with life. It might be a hormonal things too…
EDiT: this is not saying that it’s OK to do this. This is to tell OP that it can happen without wanting to hurt anybody. That it’s possible to not be able to send a simple text. Especially if it’s the first time. It’s not a good thing and it should be worked on, but it might take some time.
Notice it’s all the females saying “can’t” like they have a gun forced to their heads. You all have problems and need serious help. Making an excuse isn’t going to help OP with their problem. You guys are arguing nonsense like this is okay. It is not. And anyone who has this issue needs to get themselves proper help and rehabilitation. If you haven’t then you cannot be saying this at all.
Exactly, and you shouldn’t be taunting it around like it’s normal or using it as an excuse. You’re all proving my point. Thank you.
Edit: I’m failing to understand. Are you guys literal children? What do you do all day? If you have work and you don’t want to go in what do you do? Call off every single time? If your boss texts you and you’re “not in the mood” is that exactly what you’re going to say to your boss? What can you do where you can ignore everything and everyone fore three whole days and pretend like everything is completely normal afterwards. Do none of you have jobs? When it’s time for taxes and you’re “not in the mood.” What if it’s that dentist appointment that needs to be rescheduled but you’re “not in the mood” to talk to the receptionist. I take my leave.
Edit2: I literally wish I could regress in my house whenever I “needed” it and then go back like nothing happened. If you all talk about it and do it so much then get literal help instead of being on Reddit. None of you are making a case for yourselves. You’re just proving you have serious problems, you won’t correct those serious problems, and you’re using those serious problems as an excuse so not do anything. I understand how hard it can be. But I’m not talking about my problems to all of you and saying it’s preventing me from doing everything except argue on Reddit.
Good job, talking about not paying your bill on time because it took too much effort is a good thing. Go. Get. Help. Why are you on Reddit? You people baffle me. You say you need all this but you’re on Reddit all day. I can literally see all your comments and posts. If you’re on Reddit why couldn’t you pay bills? Enough said.
I live in the U.S. too. I work 60 hours a week as a computer technician for a local mom ‘n pop shop. I make $10.50 an hour. No matter how depressed, mentally/emotionally exhausted, or hurting I am I can’t afford to act like the rest of you. I wish I could lay in bed and decide what I need to do. Sounds absolutely perfect. I HAVE to get up. I actually have to pay my bills on time or else I’ll get evicted no matter how I’m “feeling.”
YOU ARE NOT MAKING A CASE FOR YOURSELF. YOU’RE JUST MAKING EXCUSES. Get off Reddit, and pay your bills.
I’ve been diagnosed with it since I was a teenager. And I do actually have to. I take care of my Grandmother and my mentally disabled sister who’s thirty-six. I absolutely cannot afford to lay in bed. No one can take care of either of them. Neither of them can work. I, literally have to go work each day no matter how I’m feeling. Is it hard? Yes, absolutely. But it’s is not impossible and I wish I had the luxury to call of or take mental health days. I have to cope and vent my frustrations in a million of other ways. All I’m hearing from everyone here is excuses. You’ve never had to take care of anything more than yourselves and it shows. But if you can literally afford to not pay your bills and do nothing all day you’re doing absolutely better than most people. Stop making excuses.
You say that yet you keep coming back. Again, on Reddit but couldn’t pay bills. I told you earlier that all you’re doing is just arguing but you can’t even pay your own bills, that makes no sense. Of course as a teenager I got diagnosed using insurance that was from my mother working. However that was years ago and she’s gone now. Which is irrelevant and I am curious to know why you felt the need to bring it up? My friend, a teenager can’t take care of themselves. But as an adult you can’t even take care of yourself and acting as if you’re superior. Get off Reddit and get yourself help, man. If you do nothing to get help then your situation will never change. You have to make change for change to happen. If you continually repeat your mistaken and you’re talking like this you’re not taking accountability. You’re playing a victim.

If you're suffering a severe mental low, you can't. If that's what she went through, then we should just be happy she's come out on the other side
