this is like very much a microaggression, but Ive posted on social media many times about how words like crazy and psycho have been used to degrade and abuse ppl with mental illness (psychosis), so they shouldn't be used as jokes and shouldn't be used by nonpsychotic ppl, but my roommate still uses them all the time :/ bruh I literally experience paranoia and have a psych degree. listen to me for 5 seconds.

      Yes! She should definitely not be calling others crazy if they have been diagnosed with a mental illness. It’s insensitive and continues the stigma against those who suffer from mental illness. That being said, I call myself crazy(“I feel like I’m going crazy”) but I do not call others crazy.

        @Mosspossum well I don't see any problem with ppl with bpd like us using it, especially when it's not used pejoratively. I have made a patch for myself that says "no, I'm literally crazy" lol
