“I’m not Sorry.”
Fair warning: This is a vent post.
Oh, I’m not sorry in the least. Excuse me, if I find it hard to accept the diagnoses of the “mental illness” everyone loves to spout out about me having so easily, without ever fucking having themselves. Oh, wait, please do let the psychiatrists and medical professionals of the so called mental health community inform you how the illness effects the patients and their ability to function as a person, without experiencing ANY of it first hand. Yes, please, let them advocate for us to protect out rights and act like their so helpful and the medicine is what’s best for us, based on the opinions yet again of the folks who have no idea what it is like to have our kind of so called issues and “symptoms.”
I am being completely sarcastic and aggressive on that you should listen to them or even take anyone serious. First and foremost, let me say I take responsibility for my bad choices up to this point. Secondly, I am not making any excuses for those choices or bad actions. This is more focuses on a different aspect of my view of things and mainly, is based on the viewpoints I keep hearing from others in their own, although different words. I am also pointing out that this post is emotionally charged and is biased based on the reaction to others actions up to this day.
People, generally, I’ve found, when they find out you have a mental illness, for the first time or over time, seem to somehow come to the conclusion that when you have this you can no longer take care of yourself. Regardless of your capability or actions made to do this. They start to recommend medicine, which I might add treats the so called symptoms, but DOES NOTHING to cure any of the so called mental illnesses themselves.
Just because you are diagnosed with a mental illness , does not mean I lose worth as person or my sense of humanity. We can function, even if not in the way you folks seem to assume we need to, because society dictates these silly accordance to give each other over time, to where everyone pressures each other to be the same or “normal.” We are never going to be all the same. We are never going to be normal, because normal is relative to the individual and NOT the community as a whole.
Even if I am different then you, what is the big deal? Why is my personality being different then yours, or my thought process giving me a different perspective, to where I learn in a new way then you do, a problem?
I would be way less overly emotional and aggressive if people would back off and stop judging me all the time. Stop trying to map out my life. STOP basing it on YOUR problems with how I am not how YOU think I should be as a person.
I don’t think anyone would have a fucking so called mental illness if people would shut the fuck up about trying to decide things for others and pressure us to all be the same.
I personally believe mental illness is the most fucking retarded man made lie people ever came up with.
I don’t believe there is mental illness because HOW THE FUCK IS IT AN ILLNESS, just because my behavior and personality don’t match the standards YOUR trying to come up with based on YOURS?
It is because I think of things in a different perspective then the fucking world with these pessimistic, one sided viewpoints?
I don’t think anyone would have a fucking so called mental illness if people would shut the fuck up about trying to decide things for others and pressure us to all be the same.
Stop labeling us based on how we react to the problems.
We are reacting to. the stress YOUR STIGMA and IGNORANCE towards when we admit we might need help with our life, to be able to do something better or get advice. YOUR actions lead up to the way we behave, because you make us feel trapped and lock us in a prison you create for us, with these so called ‘treatments’ that don’t solve anything.
Maybe you should focus on fixing the world, and improve life for everyone, before you try to fix us.
We are people, too.
Stop trying to make us like you.
