I have schizoaffective disorder, and I am to a degree, high-functioning (whatever that means).
And, I can’t tell you how alone I feel with how I get along in the world today.
For years, family and friends have been all degrees of abusive towards me.
Granted, some of these individuals didn’t know they were being abusive, but I feel as though most of them did!
If you’re somehow jealous of someone with severe mental illness, you have you very own unique brand of stupid going on. And, I for one hope you get schooled.
But, the truth is, that you likely will not.
I have come to learn that there is not a whole lot of justice in the world today.
Some people believe in karma. I do not!
I will not waste a bit of my time, thinking that so and so will get theirs someday.
What’s the use?
If you were unaware of how bad you were being treated (as I was), when you woke up, how did you handle it?
It took me years but i woke up one day and officially realized my ex husband was not supportive of my mental health so i divorced him. I now try my best to only let supportive people in my circle.

Yes. Supportive people make the best inner circle bunch.

If karma did exist, it got run over by a bus a long, long time ago.

Yeah. I personally feel that karma’s a big joke.

Don’t believe in that ‘karma BS’ or ‘what goes around, comes around’ and any other daft sayings. Like you, I think all these people need educating!

True. I, myself, have learned through experience. There are a lot of daft sayings out there.

I think the first time I realized I wasn’t being treated well, I hung on to the hope that they would ‘come around’ when actually, I was hoping karma would get them. Focusing more on myself and less on them at least helped me feel a little better (not much, but it’s something!)

That is something! Knowing that you deserve to be treated better by the people who say they love you, is a big part of self-love.
