I’m done with people treating mental illness like it’s a choice, rather than an actual disease. I’m so done as being perceived as whiny when really, I’m just doing what I can to keep myself calm. If I had a “real” illness like diabetes would you still talk to me in such a condescending tone? Would you help me out then? Sure you would. But instead, a 19 year old girl with an anxiety disorder is treated as if she is just trying to be difficult or a brat. You say there’s “nothing you can do”? Well that’s funny, because I say that’s discrimination.
