they use the fact that you were able to ask for help as proof that you don’t actually need help
This is almost word-for-word something I have heard in class.
you know what I’m editing my reblog to add that I and more than one of my friends have been told, and I quote, “you’re too self-aware to be autistic.”
this is just a form of that whole “mentally ill individuals don’t know they’re ill” and it’s fucking infuriating
This is part of why I never seek help until I’m so far gone that I’m sobbing in the office. I fear no one will believe me if I seek help sooner.
I’ve literally had doctors tell me “you can’t be a rape victim if you’re able to talk about it so calmly” so… I TOTES understand that fear..
This is something straight out of Catch-22 right there. I’m glad my health professional understands, but that freaking sucks for everyone.
