This is your reminder that having a mental illness doesn't absolve you from taking responsibility for your actions.

You do have an amount of control.

When you go around harming people and taking advantage of their empathy, that is on you. You. Not your bipolar, or your cptsd, or your borderline....you are making shit choices. The fact that you can justify them one way or another just shows that you're in control.

Learn from your bad decisions.
