Thank you. I will forever stand by the statement that your mental health is never an excuse. It’s a reason, but never will I excuse someone’s actions because of how they feel mentally. For YEARS, I struggled in a friendship with someone who ended up draining me emotionally and mentally because of undiagnosed and unchecked issues by the parents. The mental and emotional harm it did me drove us apart, and while I forgive them, it’s unlikely I will be able to have a conversation with them again. I will forever agree that mental health needs to be more available here in the U.S. knowing the damage that not having the knowledge of or access to it can do to a growing child and young adult. The better help and understanding people have of themselves and others, we’d all be in a much healthier place.

I've lived with many people who are bipolar or had other mental health issues including schizophrenia that caused dangerous manic episodes. I grew up with that and it's horrible. Many of them had access to help but refused it because they said it didn't match the old way or wasn't necessary. I was put in danger a lot, fled to the other side of the state and am on the verge of being homeless rather than going back to those people. It's terrifying, and I have issues with locked doors, open doors and knowing who is where. I can't forget the random folk watching me sleep and shit going missing. Or people breaking into the bathroom when I was vulnerable/naked. I still live with the fear, and I have PTSD. It's unfair to others when they could recognize the problems and receive help but don't.

my dad is schizophrenic. he was horrible to my mom, and when she left he started to convince himself that he was maliciously keeping him away from his children. that she was a horrible monster, and that, when he found out that we were being abused by her new husband, he was the one who had to save us from these people harming his children. i feel really, really bad for him. but it was scary. it was scary when my mom told us to watch out for cars outside and that if our dad came and told us to come with him to not go. it was scary having to block your own father on everything or else he’ll send you rants about how your mother is a monster. yes, he’s struggled a lot, and most of its because of his mental illnesses. he’s almost sixty, and when it started to get bad there weren’t any resourced to help him. his mental issues really fucked him up and it’s not his fault but it’s not my fault and not my problem to deal with.

[@hollybrownvideos]

I have mixed feelings on this because if your delusional it’s literally a break from reality, so expecting normal behavior is kind of ridiculous- however taking accountability and a plan to prevent further episodes is something that the Mentally Ill person should do. But there’s a lot of illnesses where a person will never think that they’re sick, so they don’t get help. It’s a severity thing, once you deem someone isn’t going to help themselves then it’s best to never engage.

[@Twist3dDisast3r]

That was something I was trying to say. So I hope I made it at least a little understandable.

[@kawaii-pigeon]

Mood. A lot of people go oh we love mental health but as soon as things get ugly, they turn tail or get hostile online. Or they act like people with illness are incapable of being harmful to others. I know my own mental health plummeted when having to deal with others issues as well. Sometimes you just have to put your foot down and say "i need to put on my oxygen on first while this planes going down"

[@3xplosiv3_k3ttan9]

I miss seeing your vids and this vid is great. And I want to share my own personal experience. I have diagnosed PTSD and MDD and have been working with a therapist for 5 years now. I had a fucked up childhood and grew up around domestic and intimate violence so it's been rough on my head jelly let's put it that way. And I remember at a point in my relationship my bfs anger was getting worse. He wasn't going to therapy consistently and wasn't taking his meds. And so when I was yelled at I would freeze because that's a survival instinct I grew up with when family members would yell (or banshee scream even bc that can induce a panic attack in me). He was choosing not to take his meds and choosing not to go to therapy and his families reaction to his escalating anger was "that's just how he is" I had to set a boundary that and go "This can not work if you refuse to treat your ADHD and allow your anger to effect our relationship. It's not fair to me and my PTSD when you get angry and it's not fair to your family to endure that anger ESPECIALLY when they gave you these recourse to help." We've gone past this he's gotten help and has taken his meds and our relationship has become a lot stronger. Happy ending (thank gods) But that last part is important; it is NOT FAIR to other people and especially yourself to CHOOSE not to treat an illness you 1) can afford to treat and 2) know is ruining your relationships. It's not your fault someone chooses to not help themselves, and know you deserve better. You deserve someone who is willing to change for the better FOR YOU. I do everyday through therapy to be a better partner to my bf.

[@sleepvillainz]

i do agree as someone trying to get diagnosed w bpd/aspd . ive done things and people have done things to me. ive helped myself soo much from when i was at my lowest and have worked everyday without medication to fix the issues i can. (everytime i get meds my parents take them away) but i do suffer with issues everyday but distance them from others. and it hurts everytime i tell someone i have bpd and they look at me in the way that im crazy. ive been abused and i know mentally ill people can be i know scary but its just so painful. i wish stigmatism wasn't hard and others like me took blame after their delusions or major depression episodes end. but i do feel as overall more people need to unlearn hate towards new people w cluster a/b mental illnesses even if they did nothing to you

[@Renari_]

THANK YOU my friend is suffering from suicide and it had given me multiple panic attacks thinking they would not make it to the next day and I would have to convince her every day not to kill herself she’s not taking her meds and she threatens to hurt herself if I don’t do things it’s just a mess

[@aquilinelockheart7578]

I really relate to some of the things in this video regarding the family member. A close relative of mine has borderline personality disorder, and they often would get drunk or be under the influence of drugs and cry whole lot while saying upsetting things when I was a child. Or throw things at me, slap me, and get very erratic. They would often ignore in normal states when they had been physically violent, or very unhinged. It was frightening and often hard to deal with, and has left me with a lot of anxiety as I still feel unable to depend on them. I even took me a while to be comfortable with/doing weed as they would get high around me and as a young child I would not understand and found the smell and change in behaviour alarming. As I got older, since I lived with them they'd often bring home multiple men who I did not know and have incredibly loud sex. I felt very unsafe and uncomfortable. They often put a lot of their emotional baggage on me from a young age, then often bullied and demeaned me for my anxiety and depression and threatened to kick me out despite the fact I was clearly mentally unwell to the point of struggling to wash, brush my teeth, and clean. In the end they kind of unofficially kicked me out using the fact we had to move as a way to send me to live with my grandparents, because they wanted to prioritise their current partner over being my care giver.

[@hoshiko4876]

When I was in middle school I had a partner that had an ED. I really wanted to help them and be there for them, but I was just a kid and there wasn't much I could do besides convince them into seeing our school psychologist n talking to them when they had a rough time. It's still kind of difficult for me to talk now because, obviously, they were having a way worse time than I was having, yet still I think it impacted me more than I was willing to admit. Obviously, their disorder wasn't their fault but at the same time I wasn't mentally equipped to handle this type of situation and this type of relationship. To this day I still sometimes feel guilty about breaking up with someone 6 years ago who I was with when we were both teenagers. Because maybe I could've done more, maybe I could've stayed by their side while they were having a rough time and now I'll never know if they even got the proper help that they needed. At the same time I'm starting to realize that you can't pour out of an empty cup. If we were both struggling then it would've been difficult for us to help each other.

[@sorc5772]

Another great video. Thank you for speaking about this

[@Twist3dDisast3r]

You’re very welcome

[@jessicaplane9231]

Diagnosed with processing disorder as a child wasnt told about it until i was18 and going to college. Just recently in my early twenties I needed to be retested only to find out by the audioligest I'm def to specific sounds that coralate with speech; they told me the was no point in more testing until my hearing was corrected and that was three years ago. Worst part was my own dad was the one who did and is still ignoring my illness and disorder; so I agree there needs to be more talking about mentaal illness and how it affects everyone not just the person who has it. Also having access to mental health doctors and care; for years I've wondered if I was doing something wrong and why I couldn't hold friendships togehter. Only to find out later what I've been living with are signs of austism, that still remains undiagnosed and not for the lack of trying. For someone that slipped through the cracks in school I urge people to do your research and found out about mental illness; so that we as people can have a better understanding.

[@kazuna_airlines]

This video is very inspiring A lot of my friends left me because of my mental illness

[@Karmacranes]

mental health is never an excuse, however as someone who has it I'm trying and I do need help with somethings. Thats not wrong to reach out for help but it should be with people who can help. not MOP, not strangers on the internet and not with dogy internet "help" programs secretly run by people who would not help. I will say the health system sucks (even in non us countries its currently a 6-12 month wait to see anyone professionally in AUS right now) and sometimes I find triggers I never thought I had.but there's a difference in I'm having a trigger moment and OMG lol I'm QuIrKy! it annoys me too. Its partially in learning this I discovered I needed help at artist alleys. ( too peopley I have to take breaks) communication is something I've really tired on this year and communicating no is a big one.It takes a lot to say this, but you must take that step and understand yourself. you have to look at your own actions.

[@WitchesAndStitches]

I know exactly who this is about. I really hope they get help as they definitely need it. Their final statement on it actually makes things a lot worse too and they paint themselves as ...a really shitty person *outside their illness.* I mean...it's okay to not want to admit to being in a vulnerable state. But...at least...get help for it?

[@Twist3dDisast3r]

Ya….

[@SnooDoodle]

Thank you for this video. I've always struggled to get along with my mother because she just never seemed to help herself and that caused a lot of instability in life for all of us. But I'll say no more, I don't wanna trauma-dump about the past when we're in the present and have the ole hindsight-handbook to keep some sense in us. People should be aware though that some people just do not get along, for reasons outside of mental illness. Everyone has the potential to be a downright pile of shit, it's not an exclusive trait to neurotypicals.

[@-incagnito-8140]

Oml-i live in southern Ca too!!!! >:D

[@katsikatra]

Your not diagnosing people, You don’t have to be a professional just to talk about this topic. Suddenly everyone is explaining why there sorta qualified is kinda wired. It’s feels like if someone said, I’m qualified to talk about her messed up outfit because i dress bad sometimes, or because my friend’s partner’s mom owns a sneaker store. I know, it’s not a perfect 1 to 1 example.

[@Twist3dDisast3r]

Thanks * hugs *

[@bee_tea0786]

Also I'd like to point ot pull fetishizing disorders like autism and it's nasty and wrong

[@Twist3dDisast3r]

yup i agree

[@catsith122]

[@Twist3dDisast3r]
