Hi everyone, I've been "between mental healths" recently. Please bear with me.

Question to people who are #antiPsych or generally critical of concepts like #adhd or #depression
I have severe issues with sticking to deadlines, building routines, focussing etc. Have had them since I was a child. I was told to stop being lazy and yelled at for as long as I can remember.
I completely understand the reasoning to say that mental illness is not real. But at the same time, the only advice I get from anti-Psych people is to "be responsible" which, to be frank, is unhelpful on good days and makes me want to kill myself on bad days.
So if mental illness is not real, how do you deal with the real symptoms of it?

"What makes the ‘#growth mentality’ so appealing, Carol Dweck discovered, is that it creates a passion for learning rather than this thirst for approval. Its hallmark is the belief that human qualities like intelligence and creativity, and even relational capacities like love and friendship, can be cultivated through effort and practice. Not only are people with this mindset not discouraged by failure, they don't actually see themselves as failures in these situations, they see themselves as learners."

Samah Karaki, doctor in #neuroscience, wrote in her book "Le talent est une fiction"

Every time we make a mistake, our brain opens to #learning.
National schools humiliate children. A motivation is that its role is to justify the social status assigned to each.
Other forms of learning, on the other hand, have no meritocratic mission: children can learn for themselves.
