Someone in the gbs reddit thread posted a perfect comment about people like that

Mental health issues aren't your fault but they are your responsibility.

There's a point where the layman can see "this is a cry for help" but when you are aggressive and combative to people you don't get to then weaponize your issues as a shield against criticism.

It came up a bit when talking about Muerte's deathmarch plan. A couple of wokescolds years later want to paint the whole thing as cruel bullying when it was 99% Muerte posting his insane plans and insulting anyone who pointed out problems. All the later "harassing" was just people following his publicly posted travelogue in the thread and making fun of it.

After discovering my brokenness in therapy and how it made me act, one of the first things hammered in was that it was no excuse and I have to take responsibility even for what happens when I am not in control of myself.

Getting to a place where you just understand that what happened to you is not your fault is tough enough. For me, i developed a belief that I deserved it. Getting past that and then facing the fact that you now have a responsibility to fix what someone else broke can be really enraging. It feels like getting shot in the foot and then blamed for having a limp.

I've got a tripple whammy of BPD, alcoholism, and PTSD, and one of the things that's still hard to navigate is recognizing that I shouldn't feel bad about myself because of my formerly-untreated issues, but also, the people who I lose contact with because I was an unstable rear end in a top hat also deserve to be free of my toxicity and prolly won't come back. I was in fact an rear end in a top hat, and the only thing I can do is move forward and not treat new friends and loved ones the way I treated the people I hurt.

Also it's rough but necessary to internalize "the person your lost loved ones liked was the real you, the person they hated was drunk untreated rear end you. Which you do you want to be?"

Yeah, it sucks having all of these plus monorchidism, St. Vitus Dance, dropsy, club sandwich feet, Ed Zachary disease, and feline leukemia.

Seriously, how is it that whenever people on the internet discuss their mental health issues it turns into a weird, accidental game of oneupmanship? I don't think it happens on purpose but they always leave me thinking "everyone else is worse off than me so what am I complaining about?" Which isn't really helpful when discussing mental wellbeing.

this isn't new

when mocking the mentally ill became unfashionable people just started framing it as the person sucked so much they gave themselves the mental illness so it's ok to hate them, this way every depressed person could have avoided their fate by being more normal

Well, thanks. Yeh seriously tho when discussing mental health, I do think it is important not to compete. Competing with pain is not productive ever. It is kind of difficult to be heard online or irl. Its good to acknowledge, empathize, validate, and encourage. thats my two cents I guess.


When someone is expressing their pain tho i have a knee jerk reaction sometimes where I am like oooh yeah i have pain too can i get in there and talk about mine as well? I guess a lot of people relate to that.. thats not necessarily oneupmanship either.. sometimes it is a need to be heard and acknowledged yourself. A lot of people feel pretty alone dealing with big poo poo and need to talk and its hard to figure out the give and take sometimes.
