HPD Adjacent!
[plain text: HPD Adjacent! /end plain text]
HPD adjacent flag! This is left vague so anyone who has, is questioning, or displays traits of the disorder may use it! This was made with people who have trouble pinpointing neurodivergencies and is NOT for transid supporters.
[ID: A flag with nine equal horizontal stripes. In descending order, the stripes are dusty purple, grape purple, dark grape purple, dark purple brown, dark magenta, bright pink, watermelon pink, bright orange, and bright yellow. End ID.]
[ID: A divider that consists of a thin white line with three stars on each side. End ID.]
Flag by me, using sampled colors. Requested by @shatterine. Tagging @radiomogai.
This will probably cause some hate, but:
You aren't always the victim just because you are mentally ill.
You try to get better? I am proud of you, keep going, i don't adress you here because people who actively try to get better for the people around them are trying, and you can be proud at yourself for that.
But people who just say "i'm sorry its the mental illness!" and expect their friends/partners/familymembers to forgive them aren't.
It is okay to say "Hey, i'm really sorry, i didn't meant to at all. I wasn't myself." Because it often actually is the reason for our behaviour. But to say that, you HAVE to actually try and get better in my eyes.
I do NOT demonise mental illnesses.
But I am aware of what damage it can cause, and that there is no way around but pointing things out.
I did mistakes before, and I also needed time to realise that it was quite often actually my fault, that i need to work on myself to get better and i just know some of you are triggered at this point.
But sometimes that is needed to understand yourself. To understand your mistakes.
It is not okay to say "it's not my fault! I'm mentally ill! I can't help it!"
I know its easier to say that, but, if you continue to do that you are not only (accidently) hurting others but also yourself.
Also, it is not fair that there are healthy people saying "they all are the same." Because we're not.
Every one of us, no matter wich mental illness, is different.
Every one of us deserve a chance just like every other human.
Let me point out again: Its not your fault for being mentally ill and/or traumatised, but it is indeed your responsibility.
A little reminder: there are many healthy people who also hurt their partners, sometimes fully aware of their actions.
You are not your diagnose. (Greetings to my therapist.)
LASTLY: a mental illness doesn't mean your love is bad! You can love, you deserve love, you are still a good person.
That's it, take care of yourself <3
I felt the need to write this down since i am sick of people judging others because of their disorder, also I am sick of people who use their disorder as a sort of excuse.
