i’m mentally ill too but fucking listen to me here. you need to take responsibility for your actions regardless of whether or not they’re a product of your mental illness. you don’t get to manipulate, gaslight, take advantage of, or straight up abuse people because you’re mentally ill! you don’t! what the fuck! why are some of you still thinking it’s okay to say things like “manipulation is okay because i have _____ and need attention from my significant other” oh my god. Don’t fucking do that
Having a mental illness is not your fault.
Dealing with that mental illness in a way that doesn’t hurt others is your responsibility.
As someone else who has a mental illness and who treated people like shit in the past, let me tell you from experience - your mental illness is not an excuse. Your mental illness does not give you the right to hurt or abuse people. Your mental illness is not a free pass. You are not entitled to hurt other people because you have a mental illness.
If treating people well is a problem for you because of your mental illness, then you need to get help. There are paid and free services that you can go to. Go. Stop treating people horribly because you can’t properly take care of yourself. Ask for help. Take the help.
Important Shit
