What do you say to people who says there is nothing wrong with you grow up

[RaphialLee]

I wish I wash acting out for attention.

These people are angry about me getting help about SA witch they don't believe in. these were the people who treated me like crap but now they finding out I'm getting help trying to figure out the reason for my behavior now they want to act like I did it to myself. they actually said I'm don't talk to know one and acts like an a @ss hole. and they try to say I made fun of someone.

stuff like this irritate me when people try to turn the whole thing and try making you feel like the bad guy. they started millions of rumors about me.

Yes one person saw me entering an building and got mad and told every one. thats my prediction not sure how people found out

Hey Raph,

unfortunately with mental illness there is still quite the stigma. I think this is partially because society as a whole has really only started to really study mental illness seriously in the last 20ish years. Because of the prevalence of the lack of belief in these types of problems, many people think if they cant see it, it doesnt exist. Or if there was somthing seriously mentally wrong with a person, he or she would be institutionalized, which is how alot of cases were handled not so long ago.

People who say there isnt anything wrong, dont have the issues we do, and because of that they cant understand. Some can try, but only a professional will really be able to help. Regardless of whatever is going on, i commend you for making an effort to try to talk with someone about what your going through. It takes alot of courage to do so, especially in the face of such adversity.

Society neesd to realize that people with S/A, and many other issues, arent going away. we are here to stay.

You arent the bad guy here friend. keep doing what youre doing.

Don't make such people matter. They aren't worth it.

 

[Agent_Violet]

You're letting those people rent space in your head honey. Don't give them that kind of power.

Tell them to seriously stfu,and to only think about talking to you again when they're not in a spiteful self pitying mood.

That's basically been my mom's reaction to my SA. I choose to not talk to her about it, since there is really no point--she won't understand. I would say avoid these people as much as possible. If you can't avoid them completely, then try not to entertain the topic they are picking on you about.
And, congratulations on seeking help! That's a big step. If you can ignore all the negative people, I'm sure you will do well. If you give them too much power, they will drag you down and make you feel bad about yourself. I know it's hard, but focus on your successes and try not to listen to them. They will never understand, because they aren't experiencing what you are, but they could at least attempt to empathize, which they clearly are not interested in doing.
