Ngl I'm feeling proud of myself because yesterday i came across a post that nearly triggered me into reblogging or commenting and disagreeing with it. But i recognized that OP was a jerk and would just spit vitriolic insults at me like they were doing to anyone who dared to question them. And I didn't wanna give them more notes, especially if they were lashing out at innocent mentally ill folks. (They insulted a depressed person calling them an "absolute tarpit" or something, which kudos to them for coming up with that cos it's kinda funny but I'm motre concerned that it's not ok to bully mentally ill folks who are struggling, especially if you are claiming to have all the answers to mental illness/being some mental health warrior 🙄
I even had some tags written out
But then i was like, no you know what? I've got enough on my plate already i don't need to engage with people with negative energy like that (not in a LoA kind of way). I hope they don't see this cos i can't be bothered arguing.
Kinda scared to be found by abusive OP but it was the one about (allegedly) them not being a "just try goat yoga to improve your mental illness" person but then proceeding to list a whole bunch of lifestyle things that many of us with severe mental illness have ALREADY TRIED and often aren't capable of keeping up all of it simultaneously long term. I mean executive function, avolition (broken rewards system), anhedonia etc exist. And also said that vegetables are actually "cheap" lol idk man we are in a cost of living crisis and people having to choose rent over food etc.
And in fact i tried to "get some sun" for my health and my skins health a few weeks ago and got horrifically sunburnt after only about 20 minutes in the same spot. I looked like a fried lobster. And that's a reality for a lot of us
Also the post is kinda bold to assume many of us aren't already doing/have done those things to no avail. We are not just lazy
Idk I may be being a bit defensive or a whiney b**** or whatever they wanna call me but ima keep trying my best bc I'm not stupid as they seem to think, i know all that stuff is healthy and i wanna be healthy but that don't make it any easier to do than say and I'm not gonna beat myself up or let other rando on the internet beat me up over not being mentally ill correctly basically
Idk sometimes the worst kinda people can end up with these big-notes posts and you should.take what they say wirh a grain of salt. Also I did conclude the post is Not For Me.
And no you are not "stupid" for not trying these things, you're just struggling and it sucks. I think those people come from privilege honestly because actually some of us have serious issues and just need to be medicated up to our eyeballs i guess 🤷‍♀️ don't listen to bullies you are awesome and I'm sure you have tried your best given the circumstances
