Wild imaginations
Unless of course they ARE imagining things and unless of course they SHOULD be appreciative of what they have. Gimme a break
Or "But you don't look sick." That grinds my gears. You don't know me. You just don't know
Such rubbish and dismissive comments only reflect on the person making them. Good you remind us to choose our comments wisely. Sorry anyone has to deal with this.
So don't try to encourage or be supportive. Ok, check ✅️ . Plot twist :she doesn't know she made this video. Please stop the doom and gloom speech because some people are just trying to be nice.
I love this. Can I send you the link to a video I made responding to a commenter who said, “That sounds like life?”
this is cruelty from people 😢, no empathy 😢
👏❤
Question
I’ve seen videos where you speak with hallucinations until you see the camera
Do you remember in those moments who is supposed to be in the house, and instantly know it’s not real? Is it a different hallucination every time? Who are you seeing and talking to?
This was extremely triggering 😭
My favorite one used to be anytime Id get upset is "did you take your pill🙄?!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤟 fuckinnn hate that like what Im not allowed to get upset about anything anymore?! Fun times🤣🥂
You are so incredible
❤
People having little knowledge should mind their own business
I remember some of Your videos very strongly how You explained hearing voices and that You never can win, because it seems to be so similar to bordeline. I feel something like You but probably not that strong. Its constant fight in my head, its like many people are talking to me and I try to explain them everything (like preparing for correct answer in real). Im so tired of this. Your videos opened me new mental door for understanding and healing. Thank You so much for that ❤
I wouldn’t say these things to anyone, regardless of what they’re going through.
My mother said all those things to me
and this is exactly the reason 99% people in my life don't know that I deal with severe anxiety and intrusive thoughts. It takes a lot of work to live with mental illness and perform like a "perfect" person.😊
If you can stop it's not a mental illness if you can't it's a mental illness I don't know why it's so hard for people to understand 😢
I hate when people say be grateful for what you have, bro I am grateful but seeing how others are in more bigger problems is not reducing my problem. Maybe my problem is not worse than a person sleeping on streets but can i have some sympathy please and not blame me for being sad or anxious all the time.
I hate those phrases as well.
Those phrases should be banned for everyone.👍
Had a bunch of those used against me in a meeting w/my supervisor yesterday. Good thing I can spot that gaslighting BS.
My favourite is "Someone didn't take her meds today…" if I disagree with them. My meds won't make you more correct and my disgust for you any less, sir/madam.
Thank you for sharing this. Ive learned from you. Thank you.
I told a bipolar girl im talking to that she is delusional am i wrong for this?
Have you ever managed to take any form of control over the hallucinations?
What is right then?
I will be praying for you ❤ 🙏
Mental illness or stepping back and see hell in the broader picture
Good video , yea I'd never say any of those things , I'd probably say yea I get like that sometimes also , no big deal its normal, that's what I say
Dear.. i have my best friend with this condition & yr so right ! Its not them in yr place so people talk from a " Littrally " Far place. From there comfort zone.. well people , Yoi heve NO IDEA.. dear micheall ❤ Praying for u. Work on yr consiousness . ❤
These are people that have done no research or study about mental illness, particularly schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Stay away from these people.
Omg ur such a relatable diva
WHO in TF says this to you , girl ?! 🤔🙄🤷🏿♀️🖤 I’m sorry ppl suck .
As someone with PTSD, I feel validated by this message. My former GP told me to "Pull myself together."
My ex husband would tell me to snap out of it for 22 years and he would call me half a brain 😔 I have been free from that prison for 12 years now! At least I won't hear those cruel words anymore! ❤️🙏
Shouldn’t say these things to someone with a physical illness, either. I have severe silent GERD that affects my vocal cords, and I’m trying to find a solution to it and I mourn my life prior to this which I’ve battled for 13 years now. All those phrases are gaslighting
