i’ve yet to see a “mental illness culture on this site is so toxic/problematic” post that wasn’t condescending, disdainful, infantilising, completely misunderstands why mental illness tumblr exists in the first place, or is straight up “why don’t u just choose to get better already?”, or All Of The Above.

i mean theres “i realised i needed to stop posting depression memes all the time bc it was putting me in a bad space” which I understand and have no disagreement with, but then there’s those same voices being coopted by this vein of “if you were more positive you’d feel better”, which is an All Of The Above.

pro tip: accuse someone of ‘wallowing’ and that’s an All Of The Above Hole-In-One, congrats, don’t talk to mentally ill people ever again until u sort out your own issues
