[walks around with an entire big mac in my mouth but never actually biting down] It’s a metaphor, see: you put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don’t give it the power to do its killing.
you took this from a fault in our stars augustus does the same thing only with a cigarette ok ok
i don’t know what you’re talking about this is an excerpt from my upcoming 100% original novel “the fart in our stalls”
“Don’t use your mental illness as an excuse” means “Change your behavior, apologize, and do better next time.”
“Don’t use your mental illness as an excuse” DOES NOT mean “Your symptoms are your fault, your disorder is not even an explanation, and you are a bad person if you behave less than neurotypical”
it’s totally possible to have healthy, meaningful relationships no matter your diagnosis, but that means taking responsibility for your actions, finding diverse support systems, and doing the work when you’re stable to make sure you and everyone who cares about you will be okay in a crisis. don’t perpetuate cycles of trauma. you have the power to build a healthier life and a healthier world.
