"I support mental health"

People with less controllable, highly visible mental illnesses that are notoriously demonized in media like cluster B disorders: Oh thank you, that means a lot to us

"Ew no not you though, you can't just blame your outbursts on your mental health disorder, you're a horrible person"

CW: BPD Feels and mental health stuff under the cut

Either you support mental health or you don't. Don't pick and choose because someone has a disorder that is defined by its difficulty in controlling emotional outbursts and difficulty relating to other people. When someone tells you they have one of these disorders, they're not "manipulating" or "gaslighting" you. They are trying to explain that they have a disorder that is specifically making it difficult to contain their emotions.

"But your illness isn't an excuse..."

No. Stop. Just fucking stop with that line of thinking. You think I don't know that? You think that I don't try my damnedest every fucking day to contain my fits of rage and random bouts of crying? It's called a DISORDER for a reason. It's tiring. It's difficult. It's full of people you care about make comments like "it's like walking on eggshells around you" like no shit dude that is literally why I have this diagnosis.

I have lost so many friendships, had people I cared about called me an asshole, and had people outright refuse to hear me out because my BPD showed itself. They just decided I was being an evil person just because and cut off contact entirely because I couldn't be "normal" for them. I have had people deliberately provoke an episode in me because it would make me look like the villain and not them, even after withdrawing from the situation so I could get my emotions under control. They fucking followed me to keep provoking my BPD because they knew it would cause me to escalate into instability.

If you only support the easily manageable, low visibility mental health disorders, then you don't really support mental health at all. We aren't evil. We are just people who are too fucking tired from containing our emotions so we wouldn't explode at work or school. And some people go out of their way to instigate us so they have a "bad guy" to point out as "problematic".

I'm so tired of being lonely because of this horrible disorder. I absolutely wish I could be normal. But I'm not. I can take my meds religiously and attend every therapy session and I will still have an episode if my stress is high enough. Don't fucking tell me that I'm not trying because I am.

"If you help someone, they'll remember. If you're loyal to others, they'll be loyal to you. Do the right thing. You know the right thing. Do the right thing, so you'll never regret what you've done."

Did you know,  you can quit your job,  you can leave university?  You aren’t legally required to have a degree,  it’s a social pressure and expectation, not the law,  and no one is holding a gun to your head.  You can sell your house,  you can give up your apartment,  you can even sell your vehicle,  and your things that are mostly unnecessary.  You can see the world on a minimum wage salary,  despite the persisting myth, you do not need a high paying job.  You can leave your friends  (if they’re true friends they’ll forgive you, and you’ll still be friends)  and make new ones on the road.  You can leave your family.  You can depart from your hometown,  your country, your culture, and everything you know.  You can sacrifice.  You can give up your $5.00 a cup morning coffee,  you can give up air conditioning,  frequent consumption of new products.  You can give up eating out at restaurants  and prepare affordable meals at home,  and eat the leftovers too,  instead of throwing them away.  You can give up cable TV,  Internet even.  This list is endless.  You can sacrifice climbing up in the hierarchy of careers.  You can buck tradition and others’ expectations of you.  You can triumph over your fears,  by conquering your mind.  You can take risks.  And most of all,  you can travel.  You just don’t want it enough.  You want a degree or a well-paying job or to stay in your comfort zone more.  This is fine, if it’s what your heart desires most,  but please don’t envy me and tell me you can’t travel.  You’re not in a famine, in a desert, in a third world country,  with five malnourished children to feed.  You probably live in a first world country.  You have a roof over your head,  and food on your plate.  You probably own luxuries like a cellphone and a computer.  You can afford the $3.00 a night guest houses of India,  the $0.10 fresh baked breakfasts of Morocco,  because if you can afford to live in a first world country,  you can certainly afford to travel in third world countries,  you can probably even afford to travel in a first world country.  So please say to me,  “I want to travel, but other things are more important to me and I’m putting them first”,  not, “I’m dying to travel, but I can’t”,  because I have yet to have someone say they can’t, who truly can’t.  You can, however, only live once, and for me,  the enrichment of the soul that comes from seeing the world  is worth more than a degree that could bring me in a bigger paycheck,  or material wealth, or pleasing society.  Of course, you must choose for yourself, follow your heart’s truest desires,  but know that you can travel,  you’re only making excuses for why you can’t.  And if it makes any difference,  I have never met anyone who has quit their job,  left school, given up their life at home, to see the world, and regretted it.  None.  Only people who have grown old and regretted never traveling,  who have regretted focusing too much on money and superficial success,  who have realized too late that there is so much more to living than this.
