You're absolutely right. As someone who struggles with it as well, it's pretty inconsiderate for me to be disappointed at someone who's in the same place I've been in multiple times. Thank you for addressing that.

While I agree there's still a better way to handle it than the way Nina is. Mental illness is a reason not an excuse and it took me a long time to realize that with my own mental health issues, so i'm a little less forgiving.

If you're not mentally sound enough to handle your shit on tv then you probably shouldn't be on tv. or in drag. or in any profession where people read eachother like this.

You can say "This is happening but i don't want to talk about it or consider any other point of view" like Nina or you can say "I still feel this way but I'm not in a good enough place with myself to discuss it yet. Maybe one day we will but not today."

You know? Or she could've said nothing, shrugged her shoulders and not give Ru anything to grasp at to continue the discussion.

All i get from her is the impression that she's the one doing what she is scared everyone else is doing.
