I have depression and general anxiety/obsessive compulsive disorder

Both of these things have sent me into dissociation episodes that caused me to have angry outbursts, sometimes physical even, towards people around me. They’ve lead me to intrusive thoughts that made me irrationally jealous or upset at my partners. They’ve lead me to become despondent and nearly negligent.

Just because my illnesses EXPLAIN these actions doesn’t mean they EXCUSE them. I STILL HAVE TO APOLOGIZE WHEN I DO THESE THINGS. i still have to critically analyze myself and ask myself if these are my feelings or if it’s my illness. I still have to make it up to people when i hurt them. I still have to try to be better.

Mental illness isn’t a free pass to hurt anyone.

Memorize that shit

love the smell of ableism in the morning

Pray tell, how is this ableism? Being mentally ill you still have to be held responsible for your actions. If you hurt someone, you apologize. That goes for anyone.

Saying that the mentally ill can’t control their impulses and thus are void of any personal responsibility is, in fact, ableism.

^ BAM

#believing mentally ill people are incapable of knowing right from wrong/controlling themselves is the worst kind of ableism
