My #neurospicy diagnosis, #schizotypal can be so profoundly insulting and demeaning. It degrades my thoughts, twists all of my existence into symptoms, and it pisses me off. It hurts that such a large part of what I enjoy about being who I am, is deemed a disorder. Even my vocabulary is a symptom. I adore my creative, overthinking, eccentric mind. It might make me less capable of conforming, but fuck, it's certainly where the colour in my spirit springs from.

I'm #schizotypal and I'm absolutely convinced that the goverment is plotting against me.

What sucks most, I live in a country where this is entirely possible and happens to people all the time.

I'm not someone to carelessly post screenshots to demean anyone in any way. What I don't like is when other people think it is okay to shame & stigmatize others because of their #MentalHealth. Mental health already gets enough stigma to its name and we all need to be a little kinder to each other. We never really know what someone is going through. Everyone has a battle they are facing every day.
