    That anyone actually deeply cares, or to put it more precisely that anyone can care about you more than you do. If you care about yourself less, it only lessens the amount anyone else can care about you.

    If someone insists they care for you more than you can yourself, there is something deeply wrong with either their perception or their motives. They are using you to meet their own ends either directly or by feeling better about themselves. In both cases they will try to control you and you must escape them quickly.

    Once you come to peace with that you either get a lot better or a lot worse very quickly and in either case at least the mental illness part will be over. I’m aware of it but I haven’t really come to peace yet. I’ll let you know how that goes. Maybe.
