Don't try to tell me what I go through isn't real.

Don't try to tell me I'm lying.

Don't try to tell me I'm "schizo" or whatever.

Don't tell me I don't really have a mental illness I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH.

You don't know me, how would you even know whether or not my experiences were real.

I'm currently in therapy with medical professionals, so I am indeed seeking help and working on myself, but to say I didn't go through it when you didn't know me is something else.

(I can't and probably won't say much as it's more of a general rant, plus you can DM for more info but only if you're not gonna be judgemental.)

I've heard and seen this before. It's difficult to articulate, let alone relate, but I think that the best representation onscreen that I've seen was in the series Maniac (2018) with Emma Stone, Jonah Hill, and Sally Field. Cinema sometimes makes for poor commiseration, but knowing that you're not alone might make it feel better, at least knowing that someone else knows and understands. Best of luck to you.
