Re: Unpopular Opinions Thread

I think this happens because people are afraid to advise others that some forms of help just will not work for you since it can be discouraging to deal with the realities of mental illness. They are trying to be helpful but sometimes people don't realize in their effort to help what kind of expectations they are setting up.

I also just get annoyed that more often people don't talk about how mental illness is different for everyone. I've seen people who even have these problems themself judge others as if there is a "right" way to be mentally ill.

Yeah, I think you're exactly on the ball. Setting up false expectations, I think, can be even worse though. Being down, having a small sliver of hope and then getting it crushed. That is a recipe for disaster.

I know what you're talking about. It's gross. On top of that, have you seen those posts on tumblr that are like,
"Mental Illness XYZ Is:
+ Doing this thing most people do.
+ Doing this thing that is a bad habit.
+ Doing this thing that can be a symptom of XYZ but could also not be."

Like, are you shitting me? Or in real life I see people doubting others mental illness because they're barely functioning, not dysfunctional, so obviously it's just a personal failing, not a real problem. Let's just stop while everyone is ahead, yeah? I swear.
