This is why there is a stigma. This "most influential" person I've never even heard of. And yes, I know the theory, but if anything it's an issue of unclear or over diagnosis NOT a lack of existence. Anyone who doesn't believe in mental illness or neurologically-based disorders has never experienced them in any capacity. One day is all it would take to change their minds.

Thank God I remembered that I'm not safe in that group before posting in it.

It's only a matter of time now. I've had enough.

Actually it was. You might want to know your shit before saying that. Ignorance is one thing, but you don't have to be an ass about it while you think you know everything. Yeah, I responded even though I fought with myself about it. I can deal with the backlash, I know I'm right. I have nothing to prove. But this is why I don't want to submit my own stuff. It's hard enough to deal with this shit when it's directed at other people. I couldn't handle it directed at me; especially now.

If you would have just allowed me to do it like I deserved to, I wouldn't have to deal with it this way. I want the life I earned back.

I'm so far gone that that doesn't feel like an option anymore. If a productive life were actually possible with this, I'd consider it, but it's not. And even if that were an option and it "cured" me, I've still lost the only real reason that I wanted to be cured in the first place. Impossible and not worth it. And, no I don't appreciate being told how awesome your dream job is (that you got a month after graduating) into the field that I lost to have nothing instead.

Wow, just wow. No, telling someone that someone else has it worse than them does NOT help, and going from the inspiration porn angle, really... I expected better.

I can't/don't want to do any of this shit. All the more reason to let go now.

These used to be huge on me, now they fit UGH
