"Lindaa12: 1.) This comes across as blaming me and / or mental health issues for the behavior of others - I get that in interpersonal interaction, it takes more than just one side and its a culmination. But just because someone has a mh diagnosis, doesn't mean they should be dismissed to think "oh it's me and my issues." Certainly sometimes, it is. Sometimes, it isn't. Also sexual abuse and harassment is never about "how the other person (the victim / survivor) takes / perceives it." Abuse is abuse. 2.) You don't know my diagnosis, so please don't label me. 3.) I see you're a new member (and that my post was your first post). Good luck on the forums.
