Karkat’s face on Rick Grimes (anon request)

When two fandoms collide.

I’ve seen a lot of posts lately about people with mental illness, not feeling accepted at the ame level, as someone who is sick in the body. Can you maybe share some experiences? like; when do you feel least accepted of your illness?

I certainly feel unaccepted when my illness impacts my job. I have PMDD, so I can’t really inform my bosses about my illness because it deals with the forbidden realm of female anatomy. It’s also not officially recognized by the DSM (yet).

I feel unaccepted every time there’s a discussion about mental illness and every time I see another woman struggling with symptoms and being ignored.

I feel unaccepted during doctors visits, prescription pick-ups, and speeches to new friends warning them of the potential hazard of having a friend who is bi-polar on a schedule.
