Counterpoint. Please DO invoke Megan Thee Stallion in all political debates.

The way you people use this term is as a catch-all excuse for anyone who fucked something up but doesn’t want to be criticized

I dont know if I agree that the twisties is physiological. I would argue it’s psychological because it has more to do with the connection between your brain, its relationship to the space around it and the movement you are trying to do.

That is the exact opposite of what I am saying.

You are conflating mental health/mental health issues and mental illness. They are not all one thing.

My point is nothing is the equivalent of the n-word. People often invoke “equivalent of the n-word” to gain an emotional response, but all that does is invalidate probably the most atrocious abuse and dehumanization of black people that went on for centuries.

I see it as the opposite. Talking about mental health, and recognizing that even people who don’t have diagnosed mental health issues need to care for their mental health DOES destigmatize it. Everyone needs to care for their mental health whether they have a recognized DSM V diagnosis or not.

mental health issues have triggers. being under pressure on a world wide stage and struggling with expectations are absolutely mental health triggers.

Sounds like you are really going through something. I hope you find the help and support you need. Your life has worth.

I don’t want you to fuck off and die. I don’t think that would be helpful to anyone

If your original post was agreeing with her maybe you should rethink what you wrote. It was incredibly dismissive and came off as “she used her privilege to not do her job”

Some people here clearly have never suffered from/are unaware they suffer from/don’t know someone who suffers from mental health struggles and it really shows.

If she was so “metally unstable“, she should’ve forfeited before her half- assed vault attempt.

You can criticize them, you shouldn’t. Mental health struggles are real. Under performing and costing your team a loss because you are struggling with your mental health is actually worse for the team than saying “hey I can’t do this right now”.

It’s incredibly short sighted to not see Simone using her privilege to normalize saying “I need to take time and space for my mental health”

Also mental issues are medical issues. And we should stop fucking pretending otherwise.

The more “one fellas” we have on our side the better. 

LW if you aren’t seeing a therapist I definitely recommend you do. It can be really helpful to role play these discussions with a professional so you can go into it with empathy and be ready to listen.
