what worse is a lot of times when i try to confide in people other then on this forum about my issues to them it seems like on the surface all I am doing is making excuses or using my disabilities as crutch.

and it does get old after a while me saying this is hard for me cause of my bipolar or because of my anxiety is not using it as a crutch its using a valid ****ing fact about life. and but just cause that is a fact of life does not mean there aren't facts of that there physiological skill be them cognitive, DBT or otherwise that can teach people how have these issues in life to cope with their disabilities in a better way.

Just like someone that is blind can live with their condition but your not going to see that person falt out sit there and lie to you about their condition just like a person that can't walk is not going to lie about having to live in a wheel chair.

So why for us that have mental health issues is it expected of us to lie about our conditions or feel shame when we talk about them.

I suppose its not so much in my case that people don't get that my life is difficult due to what I go to just sometimes depending how stressed out I actually am I refer back to my disabilities often.
