I apologize if I ever was a toxic person in your life, I’m maturing more everyday, correcting my wrongs and slowly but surely becoming a better version of me.

One thing which really hit me while listening to “A Bipolar, a Schizophrenic, and a Podcast” was when the schizophrenic host thinks back to seeing a poor, homeless man speaking to himself on the train, just like she occasionally speaks to herself, and that it hit her that what separated her from him wasn’t hard work, will power, strong morals or a lesser severity of illness. 

What she realized actually separated the two was that presumably unlike this homeless man, she had supportive friends and family, a good health insurance and money for the psychiatric evaluations, therapy and medication she needed to learn how to live a functional life with her schizophrenia. 

That the reason why she wasn’t poor, homeless and on that train speaking to herself wasn’t because she had made the right choices or worked harder than him or because she deserved it more, but that it was because she happened to be in a more privileged position than him when she got sick.

I think this realization is really important, and I think we as a community need to realize that having the resources to get a professional diagnosis, therapy and medication is a privilege, and that what separates those of us who are able to recover/live functional lives with our mental illness and those of us who aren’t usually isn’t willpower, hard work, a good attitude or stronger morals, but access to money, support and other resources, and that it really isn’t fair to make the chance of recovering from mental illness out to be about anything else.

My emotions are valid*

*valid does not mean healthy, or good, or to be privileged above common sense and kindness
