Mental health is a much larger topic than it used to be, (thank goodness for that), but that also means some stigmas come with it. Such as, people have used it as a crutch just to mistreat others.

People with and without mental illnesses have to be cognitive of the way they treat people, period.

You must strive to always be better, be willing to learn from your mistakes. But most importantly be willing to listen when people tell you that you have hurt them. Validate their hurt, and find a way to communicate to each other to fix it.

Unfortunately, not everyone has this mind-set. Nor do the have the drive to make those changes.

No matter what, mental illness diagnosis or not, you must take responsibility for your actions. If you choose not to do so, you aren't allowed to be upset by other people's reactions.

For every action, there is a reaction. Keep that in mind.

Sometimes the truth is a hard thing to swallow.

This. This. This. 👏 If it's been addressed repeatedly with no change, what do you expect?

This, self accountablility.👏👏

It's all about perspective. Recognition. Then striving to fix it!👏👏👏

For those hangin' in the back!👏

I hear this too, even still. When you come out the other side, you can recognize the pain you caused someone else. That's humanity.

Hollllaaaaa!👏👏

Yes. All. The. Yes.👏👏👏

She nailed it. Explicit.

Grace. Give yourself some. Then extend compassion.

For real though.👏

Can I hug this girl?

Those are the ones unwilling to change their behavior. We call that the victim card. Mhm.

Validate. It's important!👏

YES. 👏YES. 👏YES. 👏

Probably my favorite clapback in this thread!👏👇

Lawwwwd!🤦

The point is seeing it after the fact, if you still can't, you have a massive problem on your hands. Put forth the effort to fix it.

Communicate. It's easy. Speak to those you love. 👏

Yes!👏

True, however, it doesn't excuse other people's feelings either.

"I never intended to make you feel that way." Easy peasy.

This one is a game changer for me. Also, COMMUNICATE through your worst.👏

Like... Ghosting them per say? Then acting like nothing happened later. Don't do that.
