everyone's so fucking supportive of people with autism, ocd, adhd, and mental illnesses like schizophrenia and especially depression & anxiety. everywhere's a 'safe place' and it's an 'uncomfortable topic that needs to be discussed', but there's actually few people in the world who actually give a shit that you're depressed. i deluded myself into believing that society was progressing, and the general public cares about people who are depressed. but no one would be depressed if that was the case.
you can tell somebody you have depression, but when you're not showering, brushing your teeth, or getting out of bed and the morning and especially when you're not working, you lose your scholarship, you lose your job, you lose the people around you. you can say 'hey i have depression i'm struggling' as people are walking out and leaving you behind, but they'll let you know that they don't have time for this, and it's not their problem.
and with autism, it's so noramlised to claim you have it, or to actually have a proper diagnosis, but autism is associated with quirky teens and infants, if you try to be serious but you let people know you have autism and it's clear, good luck lmao what's your hyperfixation you need a stim board?? are you upset what's your comfort character dw my best friend is autistic i know what it's like! and they'll refuse to believe you're autistic cause you're not flicking your hands everywhere and you're of average iq
everyone's so open for discussion about mental health problems, or mental disorders, until they see what it is, they see it for themselves what it's like to be abnormal and suddenly they aren't the hero they think of themselves to be. they will leave you behind because you, like so many people, believed we live in a real progressive world where you're an equal
and it's not like i'm saying this to people who are different, who actually care, because chances are i'm saying this to people who don't have time to deal with their neighbour who's encased in depression, unable to get out of bed. not everyone's different, because to be different is to not be most people. and i'm even most people, i don't have time. everything is so fast, people get swept away and left behind
yeah, having mental problems? might sound crazy but that's not normal, yet the idea of it is completely normal. just not the practice? it's like being religious lmao

Some of this is true at least for me, almost all of my friends have tried to kill themselves and try to help me as much as they physically can. However with my autism, I get a lot of weird stares in public when I stim vocally or physically, I even had a friend that claimed she was “autistic” and then made fun of my other friend Elliot because he laughed loudly a lot without control or sometimes acted out without thought. This broke my heart because if she thinks of him like that what will she think of me
she may not think nice things based off your description... but i hope theres an off chance she will unexpectedly be accepting

The craziness thing I've experienced so far is people denying the existence of learning disabilities. I rarely bring it up and only do to warn people "hey I'm probably going to mess up a lot at this" so they can go ahead and decide if they can tolerate a person like that or not. Because I understand most people don't want their time wasted trying to teach and be patient with someone they barely know.
For whatever reason people take it more as me insulting my own self than the amount of people understanding my brain isn't normal. So go as far as to argue with me a doctor should never tell anyone they have a learning disability. People try to normalize disorders to the point they either don't exist or they're nothing more than insults.
I swear 15 years ago people were more knowledgeable about disorders but now they're seen as either insults or personality labels.
literally... i talked to my math teacher after class to tell her on the first day i have dyscalculia. it was so nerve wracking, i had no idea what reaction i would get. my neighbour told me i was making that up and math dyslexia isn't real, my old tutor told me i was being dramatic, and if i ever tell someone my own age i do, they won't believe me because I'm not diagnosed (i cant get a diagnosis)
thankfully she said it's no problem, and i actually pick stuff up faster than other kids in her class because ive always had to try harder lol.
people are so ignorant about learning disabilities if you're not completely incapable 🤷

narc !
no bc i don't have time for other ppl when they come to me abt that like, i WANT to sympathize with them but pls bruh, i have my own shit to worry about - AND DONT GET ME STARTED OF WHEN PPL WAS USING ADHD AS A CUTE QUIRKY THING FOR A TREND, ts pissed me off bc its genuinely not fun to have but rather annoying
I've been accused of having adhd and dude, its not quirky. i already have trouble focusing and staying on task, with adhd that would be a fucking nightmare. there's a reason people need to be medicated for it

happened to me lol. i still don't have friends after his depressive episode, because everyone left me when i stopped being all cheerful and funny to them
it's so hard to continue being all happy go lucky when you just wanna be honest. i hope you make new friends🖤
