i’m mentally ill too but fucking listen to me here. you need to take responsibility for your actions regardless of whether or not they’re a product of your mental illness. you don’t get to manipulate, gaslight, take advantage of, or straight up abuse people because you’re mentally ill! you don’t! what the fuck! why are some of you still thinking it’s okay to say things like “manipulation is okay because i have _____ and need attention from my significant other” oh my god. Don’t fucking do that

I’m not mentally ill but I can relate to being on the receiving end and having to deal with everything listed above and it’s not nice.

You can be like “hey I’m sorry I was being manipulative because of my _____, and I’m really just looking for attention from my significant other” so it’s not an excuse, it’s an explanation and an apology. Because if you’re aware your MI is making you do something the best thing you can do is name it so you can recognize it later on and so can others so you can work on correcting your own bad behavior 👍🏻
