i'm pretty sure 90% of the people who claim mental illness are just full of shit anyway and looking for asspats and cozies

i've been in this hobby over a decade without telling anyone once about my own struggles and i've heard stories here and elsewhere about others who do the same. it's kind of telling to me that everyone who claims mental illness publicly inevitably does it in a space like plurk or tumblr where they can get maximum asspats out of it and play oppression olympics with their fellow primadonnas
