"mental health matters" until teeth are rotting, until hair is greasy, until they can't do basic everyday things anymore, until someone has a personality disorder that, surprise! changes their personality! until someone isn't the stereotyped version of the mental illness that you created in your head. until they want more trauma and want more bad things to happen to them so they can truly feel valid for being this way, until they age regress, until they're a system, until they have tourettes, until they aren't the sweet innocent little sad baby you conjured up. until someone's anger issues causes them to quite literally throw a fit. until the illness looks like actual illness. it's pro mental health until the abuse is mental instead of physical. and y'know what? i'll say it. until the person struggling isn't conveniently attractive.
everyone wants to be pro mental health until it genuinely gets down to the reality of it. it's not some tragic, beautiful, mysterious art. it's not quirky or cool. it SUCKS. it's pro mental health but then you call people who lash out because they can't control their emotions "psycho". it's pro mental health but then you call someone who claims to be unfeeling "edgy". it's pro mental health until the coping mechanism isn't pleasing to you. it's pro mental health until an adult/adolescent acts like a child to cope. it's pro mental health until the autistic kid is level 3 asd instead of level 1. then they're "retarted", aren't they? it's pro mental health, and yet you STILL use the word "retarted" and you get upset at people for saying it's offensive and a slur and asking you not to use it. it's pro mental health, and you still accuse people of faking personality disorders or tic disorders. it's peo mental health, but you bullied the "weird kid", didn't you? it's pro mental health, until you think the person struggling is "ugly"
all of you who pretend to care? you people make me sick
