But it's also fucking presumptuous as shit to assume OP wouldn't even thunk about getting help without the magical intervention of fandom secrets.

You seem ignorant of how many people are opposed to getting help, or think they're not sick enough to get help because they've internalized a bunch of negative stereotypes about mental illness.

Regardless, people don't say "get help" because they assume someone will never think of it on their own, they say "get help" because hey, that person seems like they seriously need to get help. If you don't want people to comment, don't wave your issues around on a public forum.

but the thing is, you don't KNOW anything about this anon. They are anon. There is nothing in their post to indicate they are against or not getting help.

And you seem ignorant to how many people say "get help" with the tone of dismissing or delegitimizing someone's actual issues, so yeah. It can come off as rude, even if it wasn't intended that way.

DA

Usually anons talking about an issue like this will mention either that they are seeing someone about the issue, that they can't get help for x/y/z reason(s). That's a big clue, and also something people do to signpost 'hey, you don't need to tell me I need help, I know'.

Tgis OP didn't. Therefore, to cover all the bases, it is reasonable for commenters to suggest the OP get help if they aren't already.

Frankly, it's pretty dismissive and deligitimising of you to suggest that that the users and anons suggesting OP get help are doing so patronisingly, considering the amount and breadth of mental issues the commenters on this forum grapple with.

or think they're not sick enough to get help

This was me five years ago! It didn't help that I knew people who were worse off than me. Being told to get help the way people are in this thread confirmed that no, I wasn't just being too sensitive/dramatic! I'm in a much better place now.
