i dislike the people that dont take mental illnesses seriously. its a serious thing and they don’t think its a real thing because they havent been through it.

Ok. I'm gonna say it.

Most people are unaware.

Some even on a level that unaware is the wrong word. Inexperienced would be more fitting.

What's really dramatic is that it's somehow a taboo to talk about it.

Like talking about sex. Or talking about how we feel. Or talking about our own mistakes. Or our regrets.

It's a cycle of hatred I guess.

"Been through it". It's this sentence that pisses me off on a nuclear level.

Every experience we make by our own is our own experience. You cannot put it on a scoreboard or compare it.

That's the hard part in these experiences.

I kinda pity everyone who hasn't suffered any hardship. Not because I'm evil, but because I know inside that these people will - and that's for sure - have a certain moment in life where everything will crumble. That's life.

So. Don't dislike them. Don't hate them.

Feel compassion.

It's the hard part, but in my opinion the better way. From our own hardship we know how it is when things just completely fall apart.

There will always be that personal kind of "knowledge" that comes from your experience of reality/life, and your only hope of people understanding what that means is for them to have gone through something similar.

It's not just mental illness. It's basically... everything. Language will always fail you if your kind of knowledge is not already commonly known and accepted.

Thanks for the information.
