DEFINITELY A MANDATORY!!! JUST MAKE SURE YOU CLEARLY COMMUNICATE YOU HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS... THAT WOULD HAVE SAVED A LOT OF TEARS ANF HEART ACHE ON MY PART

STOP TELLING PEOPLE WITH BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER THEY ARE MANIPULATIVE WHEN THEY AREN’T

STOP TELLING PEOPLE WITH ABANDONMENT ISSUES TO JUST TRUST YOU

STOP TELLING PEOPLE WITH POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER TO JUST LET GO OF THE PAST

STOP TELLING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES THAT THEY “DON’T LOOK DISABLED” BECAUSE THEY’RE SEEMINGLY PHYSICALLY OKAY

STOP TREATING ANXIETY AS IF IT IS SIMPLY NERVOUSNESS/SHYNESS

STOP DEMONIZING PEOPLE WITH PSYCHOSIS

STOP VICTIM BLAMING PEOPLE TRAUMATIZED BY ABUSE THEY COULDN’T ESCAPE OR CONTROL

STOP TELLING PEOPLE WHO ARE ISOLATING THEMSELVES AS HEALTHY A COPING MECHANISM (WHO WOULD OTHERWISE END UP HURTING THEMSELVES OR OTHERS OR BREAKING DOWN IN PUBLIC) THAT THEIR COPING MECHANISM ISN’T HELPFUL

THE LACK OF RESPECT THAT ILL PEOPLE RECEIVE ON TOP OF ALL THE SHIT THAT COMES WITH HAVING AN ILLNESS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS

RESPECT PEOPLE WHO ARE ILL

LEARN TO SUPPORT THEM

BE A GOOD FRIEND AND STOP BELITTLING THEIR STRUGGLES
