*holds you* People say things like that because that is what our culture says mental illness is. It's a form of ablism, and that's part of why it hurts you even though you know Shawn is a jerk and doesn't know what's going on inside your head. I don't know if it helps you to think that it's nothing about you, it's about this whole broken societal system, large parts of which are set up so boys like Shawn can tell themselves no one really hurts that badly, but sometimes it helps me, because then it's just that little bit easier to remember that it's no reflection on me, so I thought I'd point that out. *hugshugshugs*
