tbh the worst thing about being a self aware mentally ill person is that people assume that because you understand your illness you’re automatically able to actually apply your knowledge to your life and cure yourself

Do I know my brain isn’t making the most sense right now? 
Yes. 
Can I stop it? 
No. 

it really is its own form of hell 
yes i abso-fucking-lutley know thing bad, still doing thing and know thing bad 
yes im trying my hardest to not

A slightly better kind of hell is being an extremely empathetic person watching from the outside, knowing you can’t help because you can’t force someone to follow rules or do things the correct way. It’s not their fault, but it doesn’t make spending five to eight hours a day with them any less toxic and stressful, especially in a two-person job environment.

I have my own mental issues- namely anxiety, and having to manage someone else’s mental issues as a nearly-everyday part of my otherwise low-stress job is… I’m not sure how to describe it.
