exclusionary politics of all forms ultimately boil down to performative activism and making everything u dislike or don’t understand problematic so u can keep ur woke points bc keeping up the facade that you are Not and Never Have Been problematic is more important that the actual impact you have on others and the world, not actually trying to change things or provide resources or support or educating yourself and being able to admit you’re wrong or Grow as a human being.
i’m bipolar and i had my self esteem beaten the fuck down from the time i was Born. i understand how difficult dealing with criticism can be and how shameful being wrong can be sometimes. HOWEVER if you can not place those feelings above the well being of others, it’s no longer a not being able to take criticism problem. it’s you being selfish and that is wrong.
whats with the “"you’re not really mentally ill unless you spend at least 3hr/day publically decrying yourself for the evil evil things you think about”“ crap like, my guy, calm the fuck down
@dromaeocore said: The best way to DEAL with intrusive thoughts like that IS to just… let them roll over you, try not to get yourself into a spiral of self-hate and self-destruction about it. ALL that does is reinforce them. /Not Giving The Thoughts Power/ is like, #1 treatment for Pure-O OCD, mine’s gotten SO much better as I’ve learned to do that. why the fuck do people encourage doing the literal exact opposite??
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy: “i can’t stop thinking about doing bad things” and “i’m not a bad person” are compatible concepts and the best way to deal with those thoughts is to accept that you have them and then move on.
tunglr dot hell: you’re not mentally ill unless you hate yourself for your bad thoughts, and if you disagree then you’re anti-recovery
