Hello, I just wanted to talk about something that really frustrates me
My family likes to say I use my mental health as an excuse
Or they ignore very obvious signs of mental health issues to just call me lazy or just an excuse to not do anything at all
I had depression at the time and it was really bad for my mental health for people to just say I was lazy and didn’t want to do anything. It’s true that I didn’t want to do anything but it wasn’t because I was lazy or I didn’t want to. I just didn’t see the purpose and doing anything at all or existing that’s not lazy.
I also have ADHD And they tell me I can’t use that for an excuse for why I can’t do stuff, but I never said I was using it as his excuse or say I can’t do things at a normal person we can do because I have it I can I’m a functioning being
I’m just really distracted with everything else in existence
I also have extreme anxiety which doesn’t help. When the slide is noise can set me off on a random rant about I’m gonna set the house on fire if something comes near me And I even sent myself up an anxiety attack
Yes I have difficulties doing a lot of things but I’ve never used it as an excuse for why these things are happening. It just makes it harder. But I never said I couldn’t do it, but they still say I’m using it as an excuse.
And then when they actually talked about mental health, it’s things that I don’t have and they use it to belittle me I don’t like eating in front of people, very picky about what I eat and being forced to try to eat certain things that I’m not comfortable eating at the time makes my anxiety gets set off which makes me feel sick and sometimes even vomit when I’m eating
Then they said I have anorexia and basically make fun of me for it and they shouldn’t make fun of me for this saying I have this or use it against me in any way
I do enjoy eating. It just happens that I have an anxiety that makes it difficult to eat sometimes or it could be the ADHD forget that’s against that I have necessities as a human being and I should definitely eat sometimes
Straight out ignoring mental health issues or accusing someone as using it as an excuse or saying people have mental health issues that they don’t have is extremely frustrating
Especially when you’re young, and people who are meant to support you, making you more confused in the end just make it worse
But in the end, this is just a rant about my life and my frustrations in it but this was a good ranting about it made me feel better
