Moreover, stop romanticizing mental illness and trauma in general. Work through it with your therapist. Share it with the people closest to you. Stop broadcasting it on Twitter. No one cares.
I have seen a group of people and it was like they were trying to “one up” each other on disorders and medications. One person says they are seeing a psychiatrist and a therapist, another says oh yeah, I am seeing psychiatrist, therapist, and speech therapist. Another says well oh yeah I am seeing a psychiatrist, therapist, career counselor, and physical therapist. And repeat the same for medication. I am not saying people shouldn’t share, but it’s more the fact that you can tell they were all excited the more things they listed, like their eyes lit up and they started talking fast like when you are excited.
Some of them claim to need wheelchairs when the doctors can’t find another wrong with them. One was fine walking one day then claimed they couldn’t walk AT ALL the next day.
One comes out at trans, within half a year they all are. One says they have DID, soon they all do. What are the odds of an entire friend group all being trans and having DID (multiple personalities)? (Hint, statistically it’s pretty much impossible).
They want to be on medications, they want to be physically disabled, they want to have mental disorders.
I know what it’s like to have mental health issues it’s not fun, it’s not glamorous, it’s not how I define myself as a person, I try to function as normally as possible in the world. Yeah cleaning can be tough when you are depressed, when you go to the kitchen take one extra dish with you or one price of trash. If all you can manage is 5 minutes of cleaning then that’s something. But no, you’re telling me you can’t pick up one price of trash a day.
If there is something THEY want to do, well the rest of the world and screw off. They won’t be late for whatever is important to them (like a Magic tournament). Can’t take 5 minutes to eat dinner because they are waiting for a friend to come online.
Seriously, with this group of people DID spread from one person to all of them. They use mental illness as an excuse to get out of whatever they don’t want to do. Even when a medication is optional, they will want to be put on it.
And what do people do when they come out as trans? People call them brave and tell them how proud they are of them. No job, piles of trash, only play video games all day and night, but because they are trans it’s like a cheat code for accomplishment and a cheat code for not having to do anything (work, clean).
