it just pisses me off when people act like a mental illness makes you too much of a delicate baby to handle the consequences of your actions
i have bipolar disorder. i’ve done some really bad things while manic, and i know that i am responsible for the things that i do and the people that i hurt while i am like that.. i am responsible for the consequences of my actions, because i am an adult and that is part of being an adult.
and it sucks! it sucks to know that my fucked up brain makes me do bad shit, but it probably sucks just as much (if not more) to be on the receiving end of that bad shit. i’ve hurt a lot of people, and refusing to accept the repercussions of that is absolute bullshit.
nobody is obligated to be nice to you and let themselves be hurt because of a mental illness. and there’s nothing ableist in that idea.
