Imagine having direct experience with these things, genuinely sharing your hard-earned experience of what works for you in the language you have available to you, and then some third-party who doesn't know anything about you misrepresents your statement and then tells you to "shut the fuck up about mental health problems you don't have."

the OP has mastered their emotional response and will be fine by their own reckoning. i wouldn’t be so direct if the person hadn’t insisted they could handle it. i was in fact respecting their autonomy by treating them in the exact way they said they prefer.
