AITA if I call out my friend on using her self diagnosed mental disorder as an excuse to get out of responsibilities and consequences? Like I love my friend but she continues to use her issues to deflect. She’s self diagnosing off the DSM 5 too…

Mental health issues make problems or actions explainable but not excusable- Quoting my psych professor

They’re saying minors can have bipolar disorder and they’re gust grouping a lot of disorders into one big thing which is very dangerous territory 😭

I love my friend, but like I also have my mental problems and it frustrates me to see someone use their problems to excuse bad behaviors and it sucks knowing that she goes around saying things about a disorder she might not even have. I don’t want to hurt her feelings but she desperate needs to get over herself and get some help, I just don’t want her to hate me

If you’re only reason is not wanting Her to Hate you, then you don’t Like her. So just be honest with her about that. If u can tell us, you can tell her!
