So-

No we shouldn’t apologize for our episodes.

If you care enough about us you should have patience for us.

End of fucking story

shadowkat678

As someone with five different mental illnesses fucking with me yes, if we hurt other people during an episode you absolutely should apologize, because we’re not fucking children who can’t accept the consequences. Especially for people who refuse to find help and healthy coping mechanisms.

When my friends mom refused to seek treatment for her bipolar disorder and kicked her daughter out of the house, went through her room constantly throwing things away when said daughter wasn’t home, and then refused to admit any wrong? No, as a disability advocate my friend absolutely did not have to put up with that and she was in full rights to move away and stop putting up with the toxic environment her mother created. And her mother, refusing any therapy and stopping cold turkey on her medication despite all advice, was fully responsible to the depression and anxiety my friend developed from this.

YOUR DIAGNOSIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE, IT’S AN EXPLANATION

Both. If you have an episode the people who care about you should be able to understand what was happening during that time. If you end up hurting them you should defiantly apologize, especially if it was a violent episode.

There are different types of episodes when it comes to mental health. If you’re just having a breakdown episode and are crying and want to be left alone, I should hope the people who love you will respect that and give you space.

If you act out and be angry and violent I hope you apologize after the episode when everyone’s calmed down.

I personally will not agree or disagree. I believe it it situational and depends on the person when it comes to mental health and disorders. I can’t always control my chronic depression and when I have a breakdown I’ll want to be left alone and my mother will understand. And I also know that when I have a different episode and lash out and punch and break things that I need to apologize.

Being angry and violent also aren’t the only reasons you should apologize to someone. If someone tells you that you hurt their feelings, then you hurt their feelings. Period.

Maybe you were withdrawn and acting coldly toward someone during an episode, and you hurt their feelings. Yes, they should be able to try to understand you were going through a rough patch—as long as you’ve actually explained to them it was a symptom of what you were going through. Nobody, no matter how much they love you, owes you some kind of in-depth review of your every action to attempt to figure out why you were being an asshole.

Hurting someone’s feelings does not require intent on your part. Plenty of people accidentally hurt someone’s feelings every day.

Your mental illnesses do not exempt you from being held accountable for what you’ve done. Nobody owes you their love and loyalty if you repeatedly treat them like shit.

“That sounds like some neurotypical—” Stop. I don’t owe you an explanation for why I’m not neurotypical, and you don’t get dismiss anything that disagrees with your viewpoint neurotypical so you don’t have to examine your poor behavior.

You do not have to apologize for having a mental illness. You do have to apologize for your actions if they hurt people.

“Resources for writing realistic injuries” no. I want to beat my characters to shit and I don’t care where the blood they’re coughing up is coming from. Like in anime.

i can't vibe with anyone who thinks icarus was an ignorant idiot for flying too close to the sun. "oh i'd never do that i would have remembered my father's warning and been fine". do you seriously think that after years of imprisonment, feeling the sun on your face and the open air beneath your wings, you would be able to focus on anything but the joy of being alive and free? do you actually think that if you were given the opportunity to go where nobody has never been before, you wouldn't want to push it to the limit? to dare to be the first to try what no one else has ever even thought possible? do you honestly think you're too good for your own human nature? look me in the eyes and tell me if i strapped a pair of wings to your back that could take you wherever you wanted to go whenever you pleased that you'd be careful and sensible about it. you are not better than icarus just because you have the benefit of his example.

If you want a spy to infiltrate the party, introduce them as “uhhh, his name is… Grumsby” That way A) they fucking love this guy B) they ask him a lot of questions so you can show their fake backstory you thought of C) if they act odd, of course they are, they you didnt have him written down five minutes ago alternatively, if you do have to invent an npc on the fly, make them a spy retroactively

I was gonna say, you can always just introduce a bunch of NPCs, give each of them quirks that might point to them bein a spy, then retroactively make the one the party likes like into the spy.
