What’s the point of doing anything if you’re severely mentally ill?

I've tried many therapists and meds and it was a waste. The only therapy i have left to pursue is Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy for my ocd. I did it before several years ago for a short while, but it was so much worse than my ocd that I quit.

I hear you, though it seems that a wide enough spectrum allows for different levels of functionality. I definitely understand your frustration and feeling of hopelessness. What does exposure and response entail as obvious as it may sound?

So the "normies" can get their sick, perverse kicks out of feeding us bullshit lies about hope and how "things can get better" and then pat themselves on the back for being the wonderful, positive, whimsical happy-go-lucky bastards they are! Fucking liars. They just don't get that life simply isn't for everybody.

I also think half of those "normies" have just as much fucked up shit going on in their lives or within themselves (some more, some less), but are maintaing a facade until life or whatever catches up with them and they won't be able to maintain the presentation, though some will.

Yeah, I'm actually surprised a lot of people are on this site that I would have most likely passed off as normies. They seemed to have lived normal lives, but just had a lot of bad shit happen to them. I really wish that didn't deter them.

If I weren't such an autistic, demented fucktard, I think I would have tried to see this life through until at least old age.

Maybe off topic, but I've noticed that some members here even try to present as "being helpful" and are serial posters treating this like instagram for likes and perhaps sympathy to present a more wholesome image. Some are older members too, but ultimately you find out that some of them are scammers and players.

Eh, maybe a little off topic lol.

Or maybe they realize they're gonna CTB eventually, but due to circumstances and no immediate, dire need, they just can't right now and opt to help out others in the meantime.

I feel I can't do that unfortunately. I'm outtie hopefully this week.

I hear you, but I mean some are posing as helpful or "active" in their posting and content, but in the meantime they are literally scamming others. They also post in a way to make it seem otherwise. Pardon any derail.
