Hurting others is not valid

You are so totally allowed to have feelings, and they are valid - you can’t just change your feelings.

You are allowed to not want to interact with people, to need the silence. You are allowed to need the company.

You are allowed to be angry, sad, confused, anxious - what have you.

But you can not use your feelings as validation to hurt people. When you have come to a point where you don’t care about how others feel when you lash out because of your own internal problems, that is the indicator that things have been left alone too long. 

You cannot use others as your doormat simply because you have mental health issues. You cannot blame the condition when you refuse offered and available help. 

Your mental health is important, and valid, and deserves attention. This does not give you permission to make it your scapegoat and go about life as you please. We all share this world, we all have our own trauma to deal with, let’s help each other by helping ourselves.
