to other neurodivergent people :

while i understand the need for positivity and support in our community, i dont think i’m the only one who is extrememly bothered by all the “you have to handle me at my worst” posts.

like sure, you deserve loved ones who will take care of you and look after you. but also, dont fucking guilt trip them in doing things they dont want to do or make them feel miserable.

“oh, i yelled at you and you cried ? sorry, but you know thats how i get sometimes when i feel low. deal with it” -> unhealthy.

if helping you with your bad days make someone so miserable they dont want to be close to you anymore, they arent “misunderstanding your poor depressed self” they are protecting their own mental health and they are allowed to do that.

my ex ( and this is no easy thing to open up about, so please be kind ) literally coerced me into some non sexual kinks ( weird to describe it like this but i dont want to get more specific ) i did not consented to and never intended to consent to because it was her “coping mechanism”

some people will be able to stay by your side even when you’re at your worst. but please dont guilt trip people into doing so, because it will hurt them
