"Ugh, you're just making things up for attention" (after grilling me for twenty min about how I had to miss rehearsal. Finally told her I had a therapist appointment and she said this)
I have social anxiety and hardcore struggle to make friends or open myself. The school counselor just told me to be more open and initiate friendships. How??? How do I do that???
I always accidentally share facts. I casually emntioned that sometimes when I can't sleep, I go get some air outside on the deck and I heard whispers behind my back for the rest of the week.
I just spew info. Considering most of my interests are medical and historical, no one sticks around for long. Actual quote from me:
"Uh, do you know how I remember the name of the scapula? It looks like a spatula. You just scoop things up...yeah"
I have too many space facts, and viking facts, and origin of words facts. "Did you know the German word for that is ----- which is pretty similar, which means that ----- is an old word?" Then there is the self depracating humor and saracastic muttering.
Same. Or the every constant: "Huh, that's the name of a song from a musical," or when I feel the need to constantly correct people. It annoys them and they calls a know-it-all, but I can't help it if they're spreading false info.
A lot of this shit is their but... "don't try and question it with logic" are u fucking kidding me? Just accept it and move on don't try to figure out logical things to do to prevent or help?
No, dipshit, it's saying that the mental illness is indiscriminate with who gets it, so unless you're their therapist or psychiatrist, don't try to find explanations for it - it's also about things like when people try to tell you why you shouldn't have it, as if their logic of " well you have a good life compared to others " or " you have nothing to be sad about " is going to get rid of that lovely chemical imbalance you have
Because that's what depression is. It's like saying " oh you need crutches because you broke your leg " which is what you need TO HAVE A BROKEN LEG, but instead they ask you HOW you broke your leg so they can tell you if people broke their worse or yours isn't broken enough to need crutches or to just walk it off.
