Telling people who are adapting as best they can that they are mentally ill or irrational is epic gaslighting. What’s irrational is pretending that everything is normal. We’ve been told over and over again that we can’t expect others to care about us or change their behavior but yet when we become proactive and engage in behaviors that *will* protect us, we’re made fun and told to get therapy. It’s so absurd. So I’m just going to keep on doing what works for me, regardless. 🖕🏼✌️
