Someone actually just told me today to essentially "just get over it" in regard to my mental illnesses.
There are people that actually believe this is possible. My mental disorders make it fucking damn near impossible to hold jobs, interact with people, and maintain relationships, or even motivate myself to take care of myself.
How are you supposed to "just get over it" when every single fucking thing that you do is caused and affected by your mental disorders? I will Never be normal and that is depressing as hell. But to just forget that ive got brain diseases? The only way that'll happen is if i develop Alzheimers.
People cant understand thier own neurosis how can u expect them to understand and empathize with ones that arent even thiers.
Liam Thompson
when was the last time yall niggas got injected with medication?
Lucas Carter
Because they're sick of dealing with you. Your probably a whiny bitch that always talks about your problem and you blame your shitty life on it because you were taught growing up that having a victim complex is a good thing.
Luke Diaz
They only say "get over it" because they don't understand how said mental illness works. I have acute psychosis and it gets more active when I drink alcohol (I'm an alcoholic so it's triggered most of the time), and my parents siblings and some other family members are understanding of when I drink they know I tend to loop out or carry on conversations with myself, but once a time ago so called friends didn't know what it was so they judged me for it. All I can say is just don't give a shit, it's on them if they can't comprehend what you have it's not your fault I have anti-psychotic injections monthly, so the last time was probs 2 weeks ago
Carson Allen
do something to them that they'll be unable to recover from

it's really shitty how mental health isn't taken seriously. i firmly believe it will be one of the main reasons society will go to shit. ignoring people and not changing things due to greed and instead making them pop pills will surely end well.
our environment is not healthy, simple as that. we are not made to wageslave and isolate ourselves but that's how we've structured our lives.
Connor Hernandez
its the very opposite. I lived a good life and was very comfortable with the way i was. Only in later life did i realize how my younger self was influenced by my disorders, and in retrospect figured out how miserable i actually was and currently am. I was always taught to be myself and not to blame people. I dont blame others for my faults, but i realize that those faults are stemmed from myself and my brain.
everything ive done, good and bad, is caused by my perception of the world, but now i realize that my perception is very skewed as it has always been. Recently I HAVE been talking about my problems alot because im aware that my mental issues arent going to "get better". There is no cure for the shit ive got and my life is continually being effected by all of it. Having come to the realization that things are only going to get worse is depressing like i said. This influences my relationships with people in the same way it influences the perception of myself and my environment.
My problem is that I cant be certain of how much of "myself" and the things I do is actually ME and how much is just a side effect of my mental disorders.
I also am an alcoholic, and despite being treated for one thing my doctors neglect to evaluate me for more things that i very well could have. My mental issues manifested long before i ever started drinking alcohol however.
They'll never be able to recover from the bad son, brother, nephew, uncle, cousin and overall person ive been all my life.

How can you have a mental illness if the nasal chronicels are just 2 inches away from the vertical horziontalness?
David Hernandez
damn son, I WANT isolation. I dont want to be out there in the real world with all the normal people. Ive tried that before and its just a fuckin mess for me. I want to be left alone and not have to deal with anybody.
Chase Hill
Well if you dont want normal people why have you used dishwashers in a time? Using time based dish washing appartus causes the interaction with normal humusapiens
Brandon Young
i get what you mean, i don't necessarily mean we should all live in communes or something. i mean people should be able to live life the way they want without being imposed on (so long as they aren't hurting people). right now we all have to follow a script, this is where the mental illness comes from.
this type of paradise is actually impossible though, human nature and greed or better yet nature won't allow it. have you ever seen a bird be depressed because it has to do it's day to day activities to survive?
Cameron Robinson
dishwashers user? Really? I dont wash dishes. I dont clean anything. Its not that im lazy, but im okay with living in a mess. If i see a mess i'll say "ill get that tomorrow". I feel a part of my procrastination has something to do with my mental illness. Sometimes ill get a boost of energy to actually pick up trash in my room and do the dishes, but its very rare. But in reality i feel like you're making fun of me. And in even greater reality, your making fun of me is the sentiment i receive from other people. Im very familiar with it, so please, remind me of why ill never be accepted by normals.
If life is a script, I've forgotten my lines. I feel more like a background character in cut footage.

go to school, get job, take on debt, buy a home, work til you drop
David Thomas
>literally just be yourself and forget about your mental illness bro
i honestly dont think that I have the mental fortitude to go to school. Im really not smart. I have things id like to study, but Id fail in everything but what im interested in. I cant do any math past algebra, and even that i am terrible. The stress alone of having to hold up my grades, getting assignments completed, showing up to class on time, staying awake and trying to actually focus on what im learning is giving me anxiety just thinking about it. School would be wasted on me. Id forget everything as soon as i learned it.
Getting a job? Ive had jobs, 2 and 3 at once some times. Aside from mental disorders ive also got physical disorders that prevent me from standing for hours on end and not being basically incapacitated when i get home. I tried the working life and it was great, but after a while i start to become stressed and am overwhelmed by it. That and the whole social aspect just fries my nerves.
intentionally putting myself in debt doesnt sound very pleasant either. And how the fuck would i buy a house? I cant even keep up with the house i live in currently.
I know the plan is simple and for some its easy to do, but in reality people my age, and even those that are older arent living the same lives as generations before. Things just arent the same. and working til you drop is not the solution, because other people DO work til they drop and have nothing to show for it.
Why are you even on Jow Forums? Do you have your whole life together man?
Cooper Martinez
dude I wasn't being serious, just giving the example of what people expect from a scripted life. i'm just like you and honestly i wish i could just fall asleep and not wake up.
what's your plan? i sure as shit don't have one and i'm scared.
Aiden Barnes
;i bet i suffer so much more than anyone else in this thread you are cowards who dont know the real pain of my mental illness
But I suffer more than you. You don't even know what I go through. Ahhhhhhhhhh, it's pure torture. I hate living but too scared to kill myself. Nobody goes what I go through. *que crying*
Why are you making a joke out of this? My suffering is not a joke. My pain is truly worse than any physical pain, and it is all because of my very bad mental illness that is likely the worst one possible. Don't patronise me when you have no idea how much I suffer every day.
Jayden Hall
But you don't realize the pain I go through. It's hard having an over 130 iq. Nobody understands me.Have some empathy you asshole.
>empathy What is that? I don't know anymore because I am in too much pain to know anything else. One day I want to die too because that is how much I suffer because of my mental illness that I have. Yes, sheep, you heard that right. I am in a life so dark that I think I should die! But I guess someone like you who does not feel as much pain as I do would not understand.
Aiden Jenkins
>we all suffer your problems, my problems they might be the same or they might be worse. But the mental illness itself is subject to ones environment. Even if we have the same intensity of mental illness the effect is intensified by the various circumstances that influence the manifestation of those mental disorders. Someone could have "less" mental illness and suffer more than someone with more intense illness. Its all a matter of what you're capable of doing in your personal situation. Now please, if you could stop making fun of us, that would be nice.
>Someone could have "less" mental illness and suffer more than someone with more intense illness Too true my friend I am sick and tired of schizophrenic assholes telling me my depression isn't a serious illness when I suffer every day even more than them. This world is ridiculous. Simply ridiculous.
Cameron Long
I like this suffering olympics banter frendo. But in all seriousness, I kinda wish I could take the leap and talk to a therapist.
I know this has become a joke thread, but let me say the person that told me to "get over it" also suffers from some sort of mental illness. They might not have been diagnosed, and maybe they choose not to be evaluated and they might be one of those people that "just get over it" but they talk to me frequently and they exhibit symptoms of some kind of mental disorder very obviously. And every time they talk to me bitching about their problems, i can see that they are in fact suffering but are in so much denial that they think they're actually dealing with life in a healthy way. Meanwhile as deluded as they are to think you really can just forget you have a mental disorder they dont realize how affected they are by their own disorders.
If someone can talk to me and immediately tell theres something wrong with me, and i exhibit similar symptoms as they do when they talk to me, i can damn well assert that their symptoms resemble my disorders. Maybe its just a projection, but damn it They CHOOSE to suffer and not be evaluated and treated. I could tell them to just get over their problems, but they dont want to even begin to admit that they could have a problem. And they'd become angry if i even suggest it.
I admit my problems and i am aware of how it affects me in life. I trust my doctors and i also trust when they say there is no treatment for the shit i got, and they know it wont get better and i question myself on how i can continue to actually try to live a life with the shit i deal with. Thusly why im on Jow Forums to begin with. Im a failure of a human being just like the rest of you. Except for when you all decide that you're experts on getting your life together.
call me a retard, call me stupid. tell me i complain too much. Tell me to just get over it. We wouldnt be here if things were so simple.
That feel when you've had psychotic breaks like OP is having and posted rants on facebook and stuff. That feel when you have a friend who is in that state all the time and just says completely aimless shit constantly.
Juan Reyes
U R lucky they don't have u involuntarily committed.. they usually don't unless you refuse to take their jew pills. Ever had 6 guys hold you down and inject you with chlorpromazine and midazolam?
Doctor give u anything good? Controlled substances? Ask for clonazepam it really works
damn dude i really wanted to know what your response was. let me give you the tl;dr version
>guy tells me to get over mental shit >guy also has mental shit >he isnt treated >im treated partially >he thinks hes living life just fine >by the way he talks to me about his problems hes clearly not >if i told him to get evaluated he'd get pissed at me >he suffers as much as i do
Alexander Nelson
I hate my schizoaffective disorder. I feel like checking into the state psych ward.
Jaxon Martinez
wait you can just walk right into a psych ward and ask to live there? Thats fucking good to know. I need someone to take constant care of me. I woulda done this years ago.
