The "us" against "them" mentality of severe mental illness vs "normies" as you put it; where do people who have other struggles such as physical disabilities fall on this seemingly very black and white spectrum?
I'm just a bit puzzled about how you've seemingly categorized most people into "us" and "them" when we live in a world with a complex society filled with a variety of people?

Well then those people are lucky to have others to uplift them. Some of us are alone in this dark lonely world. Those who have a MI, but have wealth as well are also lucky because at least they have more ways to escape from it. Being able to freely eat any food you want, afford any beverage (alcoholic or non), go anywhere you want, and not having to deal with the looming fear of homelessness are all fortunate and worthy of my envy.
If I had wealth and loved ones to support me than 98% of my MI would be a non issue. As it stands though, it really is me vs the rest of this lonely world. After all, it's been proven to me time and time again that nobody gives a damn unless it benefits them.
The darkness is my one and only friend, lover, ally, and protector. The darkness is my source of power and my salvation. Without it, I'm weak, powerless, nothing, and nobody.
Life is my war and death shall be my only solice.
