tbh the worst thing about being a self aware mentally ill person is that people assume that because you understand your illness you’re automatically able to actually apply your knowledge to your life and cure yourself
Do I know my brain isn’t making the most sense right now? Yes. Can I stop it? No.
I tell this shit to my therapist all the time like, "I know that is irrational" or "I know that doing xxx will not make things better" etc and she's just like yes, great, it's so good you recognize that! Like no tf it isnt ive always been able to recognize it, but that doesn't change shit lol
