That’s true, maybe I have less sympathy because I’ve been diagnosed with psychosis myself and it is a bit of a “bootstraps mentality” with regards to it. Maybe I’m being too harsh on myself with that, but it is kind of like…I don’t like the idea some people perpetuate that it can be “ableist” to judge someone struggling with mental illness that has done nothing to improve their situation. I don’t think it is ableism to not want people to wallow in self-inflicted misery. These are just my thoughts, I’m not saying you’re implying that or think like that, I’m not trying to be aggressive or abrasive, so sorry if it is coming across that way, that really isn’t my intention.
