This is exactly how mental illness is perceived. People like the idea of it but the reality of it they can’t deal with. Everyone expects people to be perfect and the symptoms of mental illness are what society has told us are negative personality traits. Exactly like you are saying with yuu is r example being unable to take responsibility. People see this a character default. The reality of living with mental illness and the general public’s lack of understanding has not changed at all. Thank you so much for sharing this raw personal account. It really is incredibly real and honest.
