Someone with a mental illness should NOT have to prove their illness to you.
You do not need to prove anything.
YOU.
DO.
NOT.
NEED.
TO.
PROVE.
ANYTHING.
If someone says “how do i know you’re not faking this to manipulate me?”
RUN.
RUN FAR FAR AWAY AND NEVER LOOK BACK.
That person is invalidating you and your illness and it is WRONG.
shout to the mentally ill people who have unattractive symptoms like a need to fight with other people, obsessing over others, having low self awareness, being easily addicted, being unable to take criticism and being hypersexual. Your suffering is still valid and you’re still loved. You’re still worth worth something.
