It's not some buzzword or trying to be trendy for me. It's not a badge for me. It's not asking for a pat on the back. I fucking LOATHE living with it. I don't want it. I yearn to be normal. It will never happen. I can only help to learn to curb some behaviors. It's so there is more awareness because there are too many ignorant people who refuse it because they are too obtuse to comprehend it.
Maybe many do wear it as a badge or make false claims they have it. Fuck those people. Brianna Wu can kill herself. People like her? Useless fucking cunt. (if you don't know it's worth the lulz to read up on her on ED) They can shove a piping hot barbed ice pick up their peephole. I hate labels. I don't wear it a label as that implies some sort of pride. I just want more awareness but I don't want pride flags or parades. That does absolutely fuck all. I just want people to be more educated about it. Maybe it has become like the gay pride thing. I personally have no issues with gays or transgenders as people. Been to a gay wedding and a funeral. Have a bi friend and a trans one. I am however a little tired of the look at me accept me thing going on everywhere with pride month and parades. I can only assume that is where some in this thread may be coming from. This saddens me as what you rub your clit on or shove your dick into me is far less important than someone with a health issue and mental health is VERY real. No not everyone has it. Most do not. Why most are so obtuse to it. Like any health issue, it comes in a variety of flavors. No one person has them all. They may have 1 or a few. All of them act differently on the person. People throw the term anxiety like it's meaningless. Most people have a normal anxiety-like first day on the job or a date. Severe anxiety is fare far more debilitating than my heart. I can go a "normal" day and not have issues other than being a bit tired and can't do as much as the normal person. The anxiety is crippling irrational fears of random things. My heart only allows me to go out somewhere and hang out for about 2-3 hours before I get really tired and need to go home. The anxiety, however, can be so crippling I have to work myself up to go and that is mentally exhausting so I only go somewhere 3 times a month. 2 of those to get groceries and the other to monthly doctor. Some months I go 4. because I worked myself to go down to the Gateway mall to see a movie and shop for games but even while there I'm always on alert. head on a swivel. Twitchy. Tho again it can be caused by many things. Some people just have severe anxiety and some like me who always had it but it became amplified to 11 when I got heart issues. Depression is also a more generalized thing as it can be cause by so much and most of it is from normal things that cause depression. Then there is crazy shit where my great uncle developed PTSD when his friend head landed in his lap in WW1.
Anxiety is a weird thing but hoarding is a side effect for many with severe anxiety. As a teen I hoarded. I curbed it eventually with collecting. Stuff doesn't pile up on the floor. The place is clean. The collection is organized. Able to get rid of things I no longer want. Hoarding you hang onto that plastic bag full of dogshit on the kitchen counter that is now white and the house having a floor you can see is a myth because it's been so many years you no longer believe a floor exists.
Most mental health issues are nonviolent. Won't hurt themselves or anyone else. I only wish for people to be more aware and not under a generalized banner. I likely made that mistake last night. It's just really hard to be overly specific each time because even in the past people don't get it. I'm not going to put some "pansexual he/her" whatever people do on Twitter under my name. Again I hate labels. Badges?! I don't need no stinkin badges!
But yes I guess there are people like that episode of South Park where Randy was an alcoholic and acted like he was dying of cancer. I didn't interpret that as claiming addiction isn't serious and real but people who go around asking for sympathy and to pat him on the back. That is NEVER what I personally want. I want it to be where gays are. Lol ok, this will sound odd. Someone says they are gay to explain slightly off behavior then a straight person just goes...ah ok like they get it nonchalant. Have no negative feelings but also not telling him how brave he is(that shit is annoying but it sure does make Bruce Jenner's pussy hard). Just a simple nod and "ah ok I got it" because they are educated enough that actually understand what it means. Not where are spirals into what this became. I do agree to not blindly accept anything and no it should not be used as an excuse either. The line is blurred when something is mentally wrong and they do something like why I may not always respond to someone how a normal person would vs choosing to hurt someone verbally or physically when you know what you did is wrong then using mental health as a scapegoat. It's a blurred line and more reason why I wish more people to be educated on it.
Sorry for the ramble. I will have mercy and stop here. I hope I explained it somewhat well in my rambling.
