No! No, they’re not! Not everyone has a ‘little bit’ of a mental illness that can literally make them unable to function like a normal person in a debilitating fucking state of mind.
Everyone has emotions, yes. But not everyone has mania….
This is why I hate the fact that mental illnesses have become a part of the popular slang lexicon, like when people say “I’m so OCD” or some variant thereof. No you’re fucking not. Liking your knickknacks arranged just so is not obsessive-compulsive disorder, it’s tidiness. Nor are you “depressed” when your favorite TV show is cancelled, you’re sad. When people throw these terms around it totally trivializes the experiences of people who actually have these illnesses. It’s not cool and people need to stop doing it.

Word. As someone who has bipolar and cancer, I approve of this post. It’s annoying as fuck.

This so hard. Then again, maybe the fact that neurotypicals are appropriating our symptoms now means that we’re cool?
