When they blame murders at the hands of cis-het white conservative males on mental health, they’re blaming it on me. When people use words like “psychotic” “insane” “schizoid” in a derogatory manner, they’re comparing them to me as an insult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s not like I asked the universe to be born with schizoeffective disorder. I hate everything about it. It’s horrible. It’s terrifying knowing that if something happened and I couldn’t get my Latuda, I would start slowly losing my mind. I got a small dose of what that’s like once when I couldn’t get a refill for 4 days. It’s real Flowers for Algernon type stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was a horrible person and hurt so many people I loved because of it being undiagnosed and untreated because of how it fucks with your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s no way to use words to describe what any of that is like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So you’ll never be able to truly empathize the experience. Nobody can who doesn’t also have the disorder. And please please please don’t go spreading that around. I don’t want rados knowing my diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n —Anonymous <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Love is the law, love under will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In solidarity, Do what thou whilt shall be the whole of the law.
