as small as a world and as large as alone

I’m beyond exhausted with the attitude that the only reason I could possibly exist publicly as a mentally ill person is because I’m trying to get attention or something

Instead of maybe I just want to BE and not have to hide a huge aspect of my life out of terror

Everyone who makes judgments about who’s ‘real’ or not is inevitably forcing lots of mentally ill people to go stealth and I don’t think that’s unintentional. Their vitriol is directed at US, make no mistake. Not just ‘fakers,’ since people will decide we’re ‘fake’ for any old reason.

Totally agreed.  And their logic about who is a faker makes no sense at all anyway.  Like, “You’re a faker if you put it in your URL and don’t talk about it.”  Why would a faker do that?  A faker would be talking about it.  Not that it fucking matters, because it’s better for there to be some fakers  out there, than it is for there to be people calling people fake who aren’t.  But seriously, the logic makes no sense.
