There is a difference between true mental illness, and just mental weakness. And it's become an excuse to be weak and be able to avoid the issues you likely have created for yourself.

I used to think mental health was a bunch of pussies who couldn't deal with life until my sister son was born.

This dude (my nephew) is a straight up nut, he's disabled with schizophrenia and if he doesn't take his medication will frick some shite up.

He also loves marijuana

This is what I was getting at.

In the context I was using the phrase, it’s about as meaningless as racist.

Without knowing her circumstances, you sound smart

Her circumstances are that she didn’t like people calling her out for not doing her job.

Ok, I’m not diminishing his obvious issues, and agree that would be a terrible thing to have to deal with. I’m simply calling Naomi Osaka full of shite. And that people are beginning to use the excuse “mental health” more and more because it makes one untouchable. There’s mental health and then there’s mental health.

I suppose you have a background in Psychiatry or, at a minimum, clinical Psychology?

I mean, to make your blanket assertion with the level of angst and finality, one would assume you are properly educated.

Don’t be a prick....

Sounds like the classic case of projection. Sprinkle a little envy there as well. OP most likely is a manlet, wishing he could be a woman, until he has to put on makeup everyday, try to maintain an attractive appearence then come home and have a husband expecting a clean house and the children are bathed. All because his great grandma did it. And did it without complaining. Then having a husband who wants to be serviced right there on the spot. Then threatens,If you dont he will find it somewhere else.

Just tuck that sax bax and put on that rouge, gain about 5 to 10 pounds a year then go visit your local gloryhole. It will get easier.

Do you know the effect it had on her? Do you know what it did to her mental state? If she paid fines to avoid it, its probably not as trivial as you are making it out to be

Mental health is important and should be prioritized more than we often have as a society.

Laymen utilizing medical terms mixed through every day jargon and creating diagnosis out of thin air is not good either.

I have no idea the story on the woman that has the OP about to blow a gasket

And the richer they get, and the less concerned they are about meeting their basic needs, the more mentally ill they get.

We now live in a society where nobody can mind their own f'ing business, so all of that went right out of the window. Plus, not telling people or counselors what you were going through or what problems you were suffering lead to a lot of self harm and suicide - the difference is now with social media you hear of it more frequently and people who do wind up killing themselves make a last plea on social media for help.

You’re right. It’s the pussification of America. Don’t listen to these idiots. The number of down votes just verifies it. Every generation that passes is weaker than the previous. 100% fact.
