#genuinely bc like. ppl w/o mental illness do not understand how debilitating it is to have it

one thing i really do hate is that like. the amount of work i have put in to be where i am academically does not translate so apparently in my transcript for ex. like yes i have a 3.81 gpa & i graduated w the highest honors at my school but like. i did that while also having severe depression and undiagnosed adhd for the first 3 yrs of college but it’s like. that doesn’t matter ykwim. like i am judged on the same level as someone who did those things w/o having severe mental illness at the same time & it’s frustrating to me bc i know that if i didn’t have mental illness i would have done even better. unfortunately the education system says fuck you if u have mental illness so like 😩

#michelle speaks #genuinely bc like. ppl w/o mental illness do not understand how debilitating it is to have it #like if u don’t have executive dysfunction u cannot comprehend how hard it is to get work done w it #so it’s like i can say all i want yeah i had to overcome my mental illness to do this well in school #but it means like nothing bc at the end of the day ppl only care abt what ur grades r not how u got them #but honestly for the best for me bc i probably shouldn’t go somewhere super competitive if i can’t handle it #i mean this in like. idc really. it’s just frustrating to me overall how much mental illness is disregarded ykwim…..
