    “Justice sensitivity” as a symptom of a disorder is fucking wild. Like they really said, “This person doesn’t roll over and take all the systemic abuse. We keep telling them it’s a normal amount of abuse but they don’t accept it. This is their problem.”

      I absolutely agree, although I wonder if it’s sorta like “hypervigilance”. Vigilance and keen observation are fantastic!

      But there’s also a point where it interferes with your life because it’s freaking exhausting and you just can’t…stop…noticing…every…little…thing…

      Maybe that’s what they mean, assuming in good faith they’re not being all 1984 about it…

      Although it does feel like the mental health “industry” trend of pushing the onus on the individual who, may simply be reacting normally to a completely chaotic, absurd, often bleak environment.

        That last part is a worthy criticism of the mental health industry and one that often gets a lot of push back unfortunately.

        It results in a lot of misdiagnosed individuals and mismatched support plans that can cause more harm than good.
