The clones and few Jedi watching Steven Universe
Amethyst: I DIDN'T ASK TO BE MADE
Rex: ah
Fives: welp
Fox: loud sobbing
Cody: teary eyed
Obi-wan: Are you... Okay?
Fox: YEAH
Anakin: Master I think we might have made a mistake.
Obi-wan now looking at the crying/sobbing clones: I think I'm going to go get some tissues.
I know this might make people mad, but absolutely refusing to even attempt to treat your mental illness, and instead just endlessly inflicting your unmitigated episodes on the people around you, is abusive. Your loved ones are not stress toys that you can just squeeze every time you feel bad. It is bad if someone says your repeated behavior is hurting them, and you take no steps to change. I know damn well that you can’t always help how your brain acts, but I’ve also spent a lot of years trying to stop my spiraling brain in its tracks, work on strategies to calm down, and consider the impact I’m having on others, because I grew up in a household with people who have the attitude of, “I have the right to consume all the attention in the house and drain your energy every single day because I feel miserable, and you’re the bad guy if you say that I’m making you feel bad and that I need to get help. I can treat you however I want because of my anxiety.”
