everyone is cool with mentally ill people around them until we start displaying symptoms they cant sympathize with
youre sad all the time? poor darling ):
youre irrationally angry,defensive, and paranoid? you say and believe things that just dont make sense? you seem to be a completely different person from day to day? well now youre just being difficult
woop there it is
to be fair, irrational anger and paranoia are symptoms that present as an attack on the people who are trying to be supportive.
it’s no surprise that it’s easier for people to find ways to support someone who is sad than someone who is furious, because we haven’t evolved to be afraid of sadness.
disclaimer: not saying it’s right, just that it’s understandable.
