That feel when people treat you like you’re brain dead or dangerous due to stigma, yet at the same time pressure you to achieve more than you can right now. Conflicting messages delivered at the same time. Like if you’re going to treat me like a leper because you think I’m so crazy, then why do you expect me to thrive just as easily as though I wasn’t crazy at all. Wtf.
