I Suffer With Mental Health

Telling someone with mental health problems to 'get a grip' or 'pull yourself together' is like telling a deaf person to 'listen more closely'

One of the things that pisses me off is the lack of understanding that.

@FilthyBeast we really can't expect the average person to understand mental illness if they haven't experienced it...it would be nice but..some people with mental illness could educate the uninformed in those teachable moments
All they need to u understand is the word illness. No one blames someone with salmonella for vomiting or having diahrea

or telling someone with Alzheimer's to stop asking the same question...people have no clue

Yeah, many people don't have the right mindset when it comes to helping others with their problems. I don't blame people for it thought because it can be extremely difficult.

Agree. We really have a great deal to learn about mental health. Keep speaking up :)

Or telling a blind person to watch where they’re going.
