(11,686 posts)I did not mean to make it sound like having mental issues is a choice. I am saying it is a choice if you start harming people. Yes, I do have my mental issues from all of the crap I went through but I choose to work through it without hurting others.
I know people who have had a chance to get help and people who were not able to get help. The ones I know who have not been able to get help still choose to not abuse others.
I fully realize that I am lucky to have a good support system behind me to help me work through my issues while others do not. Working with the homeless opens your eyes to that.
I think it is absolute bullshit when people say that sexuality is a choice. It has nothing to do with being or not being abused or waking up one day and deciding what your sexuality is going to be. That's like telling me that being born with my disabilities was my choice or that I act like I have one because I want to get out of doing things. Yes, I have had the last one told to me.
