This is my hot take on mental illness... you may not like it. So strap in.
People who are in the throws of mental illness are typically deeply ashamed of that struggle. They don't talk about it. They don't put it on display.
"Destigmatizing" mental health struggles was well intentioned to get people the help they might have otherwise not sought out. It's had some unintended consequences.
"Mental illness" has now been co-opted by people (mostly women) who suffer from a desperate need for attention. They wear their "diagnoses" on their sleeves like a badge of honor.
Just think about what had to occur for this video to take place... she set up her camera, put ice in a bowl, did the whole throwing it at the bathtub thing, and then edited the video after to post on the internet.
So many steps. So many opportunities to rethink those choices. People in the throws of the mental illness they claim are not usually thinking when they act. They have no time to prepare. They just "do."
This isn't someone experiencing any level of shame. This is someone experiencing pride. She wants attention. She wants to feel like the hero and this is her opportunity.
We want people to feel less shame in order to get help, but we do not want a society without shame altogether. It only encourages others to overly identify with their illness (and let's face it, even sometimes fake one), and stay fully in it for the validation it brings in our modern culture.
Recuerda: un truco importante en la vida: tu personalidad te hará diez veces más rico que tu inteligencia. Sé fácil de tratar. Sé amable cuando los demás no lo son. Mantén la calma cuando las cosas se desmoronen. La inteligencia por sí sola está sobrevalorada.
get obsessed with ideas that change how you see the world: neuroplasticity, subconscious conditioning, game theory, quantum physics, radical optimism, human behavior.
feed your mind better ideas long enough, and eventually you start becoming a different person.
