Please be aware that if you're a mental patient, it is just
as hard for your loved ones to watch you deteriorate as is for you to have your
illness. It's horrific and heartbreaking for everyone, so please respect your
loved ones that go through this journey with you out of love.
Fact: If a mentally ill person's medications are working,
and the person is treating you badly, call them out just like you would a
normal person and don't be an enabler. There is a big difference between a
mental episode and when meds are working. A mental illness doesn't give a
person the right to behave hatefully, even a therapist will tell a patient
their behavior is wrong; so, don't be an enabler; instead, have a conversation
and talk about the issue.
And just so everyone knows, my daughter, Lily, and I go to
therapy with Brianna so we can do our best to function as a family and
understand one another; so yes, I know what I'm talking about.
