Im going to keep talking about my mental health until more people stop bluring the lines between psychopath & sociopath. Or using schizophrenia as an insult. I know its just easy to use terms interchangeably. But too many dont know the difference and it makes getting help hard.
In this digital age lack of mental health knowledge is unacceptable. Im sick of the stigmas due to people reducing my illnesses a punchline/insult. If I were as cruel as the bigots and despots you liken me to you'd know it by now. I've even stopped with bipolar self depreciation.
Im not tweeting this to cancel or shame folks. I just want people to be aware. I see schizo, sociopath and mental health used as a blanket term for horrible people. Millions of us fight a health war with our minds and lose because of the shame being linked to evil beings.
Every day im lucid is good, but I still deal with social and emotional development issues. This will be my life as long as I continue to go on. And there have been many days I thought maybe I can't. I fake my way through a lot of regular things and its exhausting.
I hope one day humans who deal with this will have a society that understands them. But it starts with learning how vast and different mental illness is. It may save more lives once we educate ourselves.
