Sorry sorry I was just reading a reply of a post where someone was like the difference between a mental illness and a mental disorder is that one implies a strive to find a cure and I'm just like... babe what world do you live in where people don't want to "fix" you

#yes even so called destigmatized disorders are still seen as something that needs to be solved and eradicated #this was on like a post about how neurodivergent doesnt just mean adhd and autism but also a plethora of other #mental disorders and illnesses that people dont make cute little aesthetic jokes about #but thats just the thing loves you make the jokes and the positivity posts about yourself others still want you to sit calmly and shut up #and that leads into why i have so much resentment over neurotypical bc by using this one umbrella term you are completely erasing #and fucking sanitizing the experiences of other mentally ill people that dont fit your fun quirky image #i didnt want to rant on that post bc i get it i get why people find comfort in the term but the more i think about the more i dislike it #having adhd doesnt give you a pass to leave other mentally ill people behind to not learn and advocate for eachother #to dismiss them of their struggles when they beg you to sympathize with them bc you want stable people to feel comfortable #meant to say neurodivergent there it is too early in the morning im just having a cynical laugh #delete later #it was just such a fucking weird hill to die on even ignoring everything else who are you to say someone with ptsd or anxiety #or schizophrenia cant call themselves whatever the fuck they want
