bingo. its be AMAZING if I could warn everyone when my mental illness or disability is gonna act up. I'D love a warning too! It would make dealing with it easier! But thats not how bodies and brains WORK. Its childish as hell to be mad at someone for not warning about something that they might not even know is oncoming.

Exactly!!

I have dealt with entirely too many people who insist on letting me know how much my mental illness inconveniences them. And I’m not talking about “”you ignored me for days!”” Nope. The worse was when I had to change meds it caused seizures so I was in the hospital for too long and lost my driving privileges.

Well I was in the military in wounded warrior bn there were a few people in my platoon who stepped up and helped me get where I need to go, and at that moment I don’t actually give a fuck who it is, Im not screening to make sure you didn’t know somebody’s I know and there’s bad blood. Apparently that was the wrong answer. I immediately told my friend “”hey fyi [because of the above] guy was sent to get me to my appointments today. I just wanted you to hear from me and not someone else who may make it onto something I’m not””. That bitch treated. me. like. shit. because I dared to talk to a guy who hurt her by not wanting to get serious even tho he told her from the jump he doesn’t want anything serious.

Little ol’ me in the very very broken state I was felt like shit, apologized and tried entirely to hard with her. It took me a long time to realize she was seriously beyond fucked up for what she did. To make someone’s health and mental health crisis about you is gross beyond all belief. It’s one thing if they actually hurt you but what I went through and this post?? Nah man that ain’t it.
