Some people are disgustingly uneducated about Mental illness

I was talking to my mom about mental illness. She only knows about autism and ptsd and because i have it and schizophrenia because me and my great uncle had it

she knows absolutely nothing about DID

she didn't even know it exists even tho ive talked about it bc i might have it multiple times ( though she has health issues of her own that effects her memory so I give her grace with this stuff, plus she is willing to learn )

and my dad knows also close to nothing and says things like " I wish I didn't have motivation so I didn't have to go to work " like dude When I have no motivation I literally cant get out of bed because Im in so much mental pain, I cant clean I cant eat sometimes I cant do much but sleep and it feels so horrible it makes me sick. and some people are worse than me and their rooms get infected with rats and bugs because they physically cant clean, and its so messy you cant move around because theres so much shit on the floor

and a lot of other people also know close to nothing and it pisses me off 

People larping as like bpd or autism or ocd or anything else are so bad, it hurts so many people. most of the time they don't even know anything about the illness they are larping as and misrepresent it and then spread misinformation 

and dont get me started on the people who want a bpd gf get one and then get mad and break up when their bpd gf shows symptoms of her mental illness 😬 

they know NOTHING they literally think its a quirky personality trait and it shows. 

also when people like act shy and say they have anti social personality disorder pisses me off coz no you dont an actual person with that disorder would literally ghost a person as a love language or similar. same with people who larp having DID. its so messed up because DID is literally A TRAUMA RESPONSE. So are some other mental illnesses like adhd. 

these are DISORDERS. they are not quirky and are indeed a disability that people actively struggle with 

no i don't just hear voices and see the hat man haha silly, it effects my cognitive ability and functioning and its the reason I cant get dressed some days tilt my head to the side and it just is like that (sometimes all day), its the reason I show close to no emotions, Its the reason I self Isolate and sh, its the reason I laugh when im in emotional distress, its the reason I am aggressive over stupid things, the reason I get scared people are poisoning my food and the reason I have trouble processing words/letters/lines/music notes ( schizophrenia )

no I don't just have quirky interests, it effects how I feel things emotionally and physically, it effects sensory input, It effects how i regulate emotions, it effects how I react in social situations and how i understand social situations in general, it effects literally how my brain works and I am exhausted for 2 weeks sometimes after social gatherings ( autism )

and so much more 

i also hate it when people baby you if you have mental illness especially autism 

like bro i am not a small child  stop
