#mental illness is not a joke

[edtwtbutnot]

NO EMILY YOU DO NOT HAVE ADHD BECAUSE YOU CAN FOCUS IN THAT ONE CLASS THAT YOU HATE. YOU DO NOT HAVE OCD BECAUSE YOU LIKE TO BE ORGANIZED. YOU ARE NOT BIPOLAR BECAUSE ONE MOMENT YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING BUT NOW YOU DONT. YOU ARE NOT DEPRESSED BC YOUR CHEER TEAM LOST A TORNEMENT THAT ONE TIME. YOU ARE NEUROLOICALLY SIMPLE. AND THATS OK. YOU. ARE.LUCKY

fucking hate it when the stuff everybody says "actually works" does actually work.

hate exercising and realizing i've let go of a lot of anxiety and anger because i've overturned my fight-or-flight response.

hate eating right and eating enough and eating 3 times a day and realizing i'm less anxious and i have more energy

hate journaling in my stupid notebook with my stupid bic ballpoint and realizing that i've actually started healing about something once i'm able to externalize it

hate forgiving myself hate complimenting myself more often hate treating myself with kindness hate taking a gratitude inventory hate having patience hate talking to myself gently

hate turning my little face up to the sun and taking deep breaths and looking at nature and grounding myself and realizing that i feel less burdened and more hopeful, more actually-here, that i am able to see the good sides of myself more clearly, that i am able to see not only how far i have to grow - but also how much growth i have already done & how much of my life i truly fill with light and laughter and love

horrible horrible horrible. hate it but i'm gonna do it tho

what I say: “it is what it is”

what I mean: “I have cried about this for hours and have probably self harmed and contemplated suicide over this.

To all the people telling me "I'm in your walls" is a harmless meme and "if you are sensitive enough to be triggered by it you shouldn't be on the Internet", please read this and then tell me it's a meme that has nothing to do with schizophrenia, it's a harmless meme, and if me and other people with schizophrenia get 'triggered' by it we are too sensitive.

It was literally made to purposely trigger people in psychosis/ people with schizophrenia specifically. Me and many other people who post about our schizophrenia/psychosis online get spammed with this type of thing, I get anons pretty regularly. I actively try to avoid it but it doesn't matter. I can't think of any other popular "meme" that purposely triggers people online who are already vulnerable. It is blatant sanism/ableism.

There is no way you can divorce the "joke" from its original intended purpose. And why do you guys fight so hard to justify this "joke"? It's not ever funny, it's not clever or creative, it's just bullying a minority, that's literally it.

Those of us with schizophrenia/psychosis deserve to be on the Internet just like everybody else. It's not our fault that there is a popular meme made specifically to target our vulnerabilities. Even if we try our hardest to avoid these types of jokes, people will seek us out and harass us regardless.

Notice on the Know Your Meme page, all the other related searches that are more "memes" meant to trigger, harass, or make fun of people with psychosis/schizophrenia. A lot of these memes have only started/become popular in the last few years. And yet no one seems to be speaking up about how fucked up that is. Not even neurodivergent/mental illness awareness online. And when those of us with schizophrenia try ourselves to call it out, guess what kind of comments we get 🙄

Imagine pruning roses and someone takes your tools and tells you to do it by hand. You try, but your hands are pricked by the thorns. You ask for gloves but they tell you to stop whining and to get on with it. The tighter you grip the rose, the more painful it gets. All around you are people snipping away at the roses while you can hardly hold the thing. You try to take a break but are called out for being lazy and are ordered to get back to work. You try to borrow a pair of gloves and all you get is: "Oh but I know someone who can do it without gloves." You try to ask for help and the only response is laughter, along with people telling you to "suck it up" and that "it's only a plant, stop complaining, there are people who are doing more difficult work, would you rather be like them?" You explain how it's hurting your hands and people tell you that you're doing it for attention or that it isn't that bad, while they have the luxury of gloves and proper tools. They say that it's only one rose, despite there being a whole bush of the thorny flowers to get through. And when you say you're done, that you are sick of it and aren't putting up with it anymore, they laugh and jeer, telling you that you should have given up a long time ago and that they wouldn't have stuck around as long, if it were them. "Good riddance," they say. But as soon as the roses are left unattended and the shovel buried, they ask themselves why? Why did you stop? It's a miracle that you could even stay here in the first place. You should have been grateful for what you had, instead of throwing it all away.

That is what it feels like to have depression. To be denied the services to help you heal, to be treated as though you are seeking pity, to be driven to suicide only for them to shove it in your face and tell you to hurry up already. That there are people worse off than you and that the world doesn't revolve around you. That you should be grateful you were born. And they will be the same people to cry at your funeral. And the only acknowledgement you will ever receive is: "Cheer up! You're just a little sad, is all." despite it completely tearing apart your world and way of life, leaving any possibility of you having a place in society in shambles.

This is why people need to learn. To take their heads out of the ground and to educate themselves before we lose any more lives.

ADHD isn't silly or quirky. it can hinder productivity, create a cycle of overcommitting and overextending to keep up with life, can give rise to feelings of guilt for things like resting and overall impacts relationship health (just to name a few). it's hard to manage and it's miserable.

#I make fun and light of it to cope because I do have it. people who don't #do your research #talk to your ADHD loved ones and lay off the jokes #it's rude and mean and makes you look that much more insensitive and uneducated. it's not cute. help us out. #adhd #there's so many symptoms that are hard to manage on the daily #and it's a whole other level if you've got other conditions mental illness or trauma

We've all seen a feelings wheel, but have you ever seen a NEEDS wheel?

This was a first for me when my therapist showed it to me—so now I'm sharing it with you.

Like!!

I'm allowed to need "Make"?

And "For"?!

All jokes aside, this thing is changing the way I view my needs.

I hope it changes yours, too.

seeing q!phil talk about sunny was so interesting cuz of how he described her, how every islander so far has described her.

spoilt.

material girl.

she loves "stealing".

beyond that, they don't really say much about her (this excludes morning crew cuz they joke but also always bolster her) and they always fall back on those jokes to poke fun at her, not expecting much more from her.

i mean, are any of us surprised that people judge sunny based on one trait? they assume who she is and how she acts from one impression and don't really let it go? already have an assumption about her that they always use to poke fun?

after all, isn't that just how they treat q!tubbo?

#like father like daughter #i want to throw up somewhere #i had this realisation and felt mentally ill needed to run into a wall #sunny and qtubbo two sides of the same coin #doomed to be the butt of the joke #doomed to not be taken seriously beyond a certain trait of “annoyance” #doomed to have everyone judge them without knowing them #qsmp #qsmp sunnysideup #qsmp sunny #qsmp tubbo
