Anyone have a mild freak out when writing mental illness stuff in their stories, bc if you don't have people Textbook Perfect react to it or if you don't match Every Experience, you are Wrong and Problematic? Just thinking of how people lashed out about To The Bone and whatnot-

- and the claims of 'this is romanticizing!' when it was... Very Real, not romanticized at all. Or how people were pissed with 13RW with how no one took her depression seriously until it was too late, as if that doesn't happen all the time? Or how people rolled their eyes at-

"All her Reasons are such little things!! Such an overreactor" when when you are lonely and depressed, little things impact you A LOT. Idk. Hopefully by putting a "this is ownvoices!!" disclaimer with trigger warnings, people won't lash out like that, but it still scares me.
