@tatertotsconor Well said. This shouldn't be controversial. Speaking from experience, you can't just throw your hands up and wait to be saved, you gotta take initiative if you want to improve your conditions, nobody else will.
@eli777melodies@aeneashemphill I think we're talking about different things. Im not talking about extreme cases on the periphery, I mean twitter people that infantalize themselves waiting for someone to come and save them. Its not going to happen, they have to put the effort in themselves.
@eli777melodies@aeneashemphill Having a community and feeling acceptance can substantially improve symptoms and general mental health but its not going to fix a neurodevelopmental disorder by itself and its not a replacement for medical intervention.
@eli777melodies@aeneashemphill I didnt say that it was the only solution or that it worked for everyone. I listed it as one example of taking initiative to get the support you need.
Community is good, obviously, but its not going to fix the chemicals in your brain
@eli777melodies@aeneashemphill Yeah and the "initiative to get the support you need" would be things like talking to a therapist or going to a doctor for meds.
How am I missing the point? I dont disagree with what you said
@bowerygirl By your logic, only your own bad judgment could have gotten you physically raped. So that's your fault. Look in the mirror and ask yourself why you are the problem. Why were you alone with that man? Are you stupid? Why did he think he could rape you?
@kiittenish I thought you were implying he was saying it as a blanket statement against mentally ill people. Not just against people who complain but won't do anything to help themselves. I think its good to not enable that behavior
Also he still didnt say "be an asshole and dont understand
