#MakeAbleistsUncomfortable you're not an ally to people with mental illnesses if you're only an ally to people with more "palatable" mental illnesses like depression/anxiety, while continuing to stigmatise people with personality disorders, psychosis, etc.
Tweeting quotes about self-care and "talk to someone uwu" don't mean shit if 10 minutes later you're using psycho/schizo/sociopath/narcissist etc as insults, or assuming anyone with BPD is abusive, or armchair diagnosing famous racists with disorders to explain their behaviour
In the same vein, you're not an ally to people with mental illnesses if you support them until they show symptoms that make you uncomfortable, or make it harder for you to romanticise and pity them.
If you support people with restrictive EDs, but make fatphobic & derisive comments about people who experience binge eating as a symptom, you're not a good ally.
If you support people with depression until they talk about how their illness can make it difficult to shower more than once a week or brush their teeth every day, you're not a good ally.
If you say you support people with PTSD but make "triggered" jokes, mock people who request trigger warnings/refuse to take two seconds to add a CW to a tweet, or think having "weird" triggers is a funny thing to laugh at, you're not a good ally.
If you support people with OCD if they have "stereotypical" symptoms like order, hygiene, etc. but then ostracise them for having intrusive thoughts that are disturbing or uncomfortable to think about/compulsions that are more stigmatised like hoarding, you're not a good ally
Conditional allyship to people with mental illness isn't actual allyship. As someone with more "palatable" MIs, I don't want your allyship if you don't have the same energy for my friends with personality disorders & psychosis as you do for me.
