it’s 2018 and mental illness is still not an excuse to be a shitty person

there are a lot of people who suffer from delusions (people with schizophrenia definitely but also people who suffer from psychosis and psychotic symptoms) who say and do shitty things and feel bad about them when they come out of their delusions. people with anxiety and depression do “shitty” things like bail on friends which could dub them as a shitty person. i get where you’re coming from but please stop spreading this. it’s negative and not productive.

i feel where you’re coming from but like consider that maybe these are not the cases op was referring to because these things are things that are actually excusable, but using mental illness to defend their abusive or controlling behaviors for example is more what i think of when i read this. i think this is a message that 100% needs to be spread because i have felt myself fall into this, and have seen others do the same, and its not ok.

so now that that’s settled, it’s 2018 and mental illness is still not an excuse to be a shitty person
