Hey Pandas, Which Thing Annoys You The Most About Having Mental Illness?
EVERYTHING MUST BE ON MY LEFT SIDE. Okay, well, not everything. But eventually I think about it and then it comes back again. I often hate things being on my right side. Just knowing that they are there gives me this feeling and it sucks. Also, people don’t understand autistic or ADHD people. ‘But you don’t look autistic’ well you don’t look ableist but here we f*****g are! ‘But it’s only a few people, you should be fine’ well maybe if I wasn’t stressed right now I might not have a meltdown.Hey Pandas, Which Thing Annoys You The Most About Having Mental Illness?
Personally, the thing that annoys me most is that a lot of people don't understand Anxiety. They think its more of a personality then a mental illness...like your just super shy or loner. When in reality most of want friends and relationships but our imbalanced brain chemicals make it very difficult to let your guard down, meanings it very difficult to connect with or trust people for that matter.Hey Pandas, Which Thing Annoys You The Most About Having Mental Illness?
I'm so tired 85% of the time. SO so tired, like to the bone, like I'm a magnet and so is the floor, like I haven't slept in days, knowing I have things to do, a job, home, husband, garden pets and a life to immerse myself in and love. And I just can't. And then 15% of the time, I'm so up and manic the I 'accomplish' a lot at the expense of my health and sometimes my relationships.Hey Pandas, Which Thing Annoys You The Most About Having Mental Illness?
suddenly feeling nothing for your partner whenever a depressive episode starts. One day you make plans, you feel good, you are looking forward to seeing them again, the next you could shoot them to Mars and hate the idea of them wanting to see you as any kind of contact means stress and loss of energy. And you feel bad that you feel that way and this makes it even worse. Depression truly is a b*tch.Hey Pandas, Which Thing Annoys You The Most About Having Mental Illness?
Despite places of work stating they support people with mental health issues, do not believe them.Hey Pandas, Which Thing Annoys You The Most About Having Mental Illness?
How you're always screwing up your relationship.Hey Pandas, Which Thing Annoys You The Most About Having Mental Illness?
The fact that people act like they are walking on eggshells because they don't know what will set me off. I have depression, but it is shown mostly through angry outbursts. Another thing that is awful is the guilt that I feel. I feel guilty for being depressed. I know I shouldn't be and my family says the same thing, but sometimes I just feel that way.Hey Pandas, Which Thing Annoys You The Most About Having Mental Illness?
I have adhd and soooo many people don’t think I do because I have become pretty good at masking.Show All 19 Upvotes

I have ADHD. the thing that annoys me most is not being able to pay attention. In writing class, I’ll be reading a paragraph, about 60 times. (Ok that was kinda exaggerated maybe 6 times XD) it’s super annoying. 😡Hey Pandas, Which Thing Annoys You The Most About Having Mental Illness?
