Justified Anger vs. Mental Instability: A Narcissist’s Favorite Weapon

How Abusers Weaponize the System Against Survivors

In 2021, when I was mentally unstable, I became extremely paranoid. Not because my fears were irrational, but because they were based on lived experience.

🚨 My family has weaponized the system against me before. And now that I’ve taken my advocacy to an even bigger public stage, they won’t hesitate to do so again.

This is one of the most insidious tactics of abusers—twisting justified anger into “mental instability” to discredit, control, and silence their victims.


What’s the Difference Between Justified Anger and Mental Instability?

💥 Justified anger is a rational, measured response to injustice, abuse, and manipulation.

💀 Mental instability (in the way they try to frame it) is about losing control, being unable to function, or acting in a self-destructive or irrational way.

🚀 The problem? Narcissists and manipulators intentionally blur the line between the two to make their victims look like the problem.

How You Know Your Anger is Justified, Not “Unstable”

You’re in control of your emotions – You’re not lashing out impulsively; you’re making strategic decisions.

You have evidence – Your anger is based on real experiences, past abuse, and documented patterns of manipulation. You’re not imagining things; you’re proving them.

You’re not harming yourself or others – You’re not acting in ways that would make you a danger to yourself or those around you.

You’re making calculated moves, not emotional outbursts – You’re thinking ahead, making calls, and taking legal precautions. That’s not instability—that’s power.


How Narcissists Use the “You’re Crazy” Tactic

Manipulators and narcissists love to twist justified anger into “proof” of instability because:

1️⃣ It lets them avoid accountability – If they can make you seem “crazy,” they don’t have to address their behavior.

2️⃣ It gives them a way to silence you – If they can frame you as “unstable,” they can dismiss everything you say.

3️⃣ It gives them power – If they can make others believe you’re the problem, they maintain control over the narrative.

💀 And when they have power within the system—friends in high places, connections with law enforcement—it becomes even more dangerous.


What Happens When They Call the Police on You?

💡 Weaponizing wellness checks is one of the oldest tricks in the book.

They call the police, claim you’re suicidal, and suddenly you’re the one locked up, stripped of your autonomy, and forced to “prove” your sanity while they sit back and play the concerned party.

They know that once you’re labeled “unstable,” your words don’t carry the same weight. And that’s exactly why I’m getting ahead of it this time.

🚨 This is why I’m calling the non-emergency police line before they do.

Because when you know the game, you stop being the pawn.


Final Truth: Your Anger is Proof You’re Awake, Not Unstable.

💡 Anger is not the opposite of reason. It is the response to injustice.

🚀 I am not unstable. I am awake. I am aware. And that is what makes me dangerous to them. 🔥


P.S.: If you have an abusive family, document EVERYTHING.

Abusers rewrite history. The only way to fight back is to keep the receipts.

    Anger can significantly impact mental health, often leading to issues like depression, anxiety, and relationship problems when not managed properly; prolonged or intense anger can be linked to poor decision-making, increased risk-taking behaviors, and even substance abuse, while suppressed anger can contribute to internalized stress and further mental health complications

      You f*cking coward. Posting unsolicited advice anonymously like some self-righteous, dime-store therapist? Spare me. Anger isn’t the enemy here—people like you are. I can JUST imagine the kind of damage you do to people close to you under the guise of “helpful advice”.

      People who peddle shallow mental health clichés without understanding the first thing about lived experience. My anger is valid, necessary, and frankly, none of your goddamn business. Next time you feel the urge to condescend, do us all a favour and don’t. And if you’re going to have the audacity to critique my mental health, at least have the backbone to sign your name. Until then, kindly f*ck off. 👹👹👹

      Your comment is literally an attack—dressed up as “concern,” but an attack nonetheless. You’re trying to undermine me, invalidate my emotions, and gaslight me into thinking MY ANGER is the problem. It’s patronising, dismissive, and cruel.

      People who pull this kind of passive-aggressive nonsense know exactly what they’re doing. It’s not about wellbeing; it’s about controlling the narrative and making yourself feel superior. This isn’t “helpful advice”—it’s a direct hit on my right to feel and express my reality. In other words—you’re not fit to read my blog.

      Never set foot here again. And if you must, then STFU!!!

      Imagine reading someone’s deeply personal writing and feeling the need to leave unsolicited mental health “advice” anonymously—highlighting generic platitudes as if you’ve unlocked some profound truth. Please. Spare me. I’ve done more work on my mental health than you could ever comprehend from your armchair psychology bubble. If you don’t have the mental acumen to actually engage with me in a battle of words, don’t even fucking bother. You have no idea who you’re dealing with. And if you can’t summon the courage to sign your name, kindly stay silent. I’m not here to manage my emotions for your comfort. I’m making an example of you with a screenshot of that worthless bit of advice you felt the need to dump on me. This post is going up on my blog and Facebook, because cowards deserve public lessons.

      I hope you’re happy with yourself. Probably didn’t quite get the results you imagined. Relationship problems? Perhaps have a look at the comments section and see for yourself what my friends and supporters think about me and my approach to fighting against toxic positivity, narcissistic abuse and gaslighting like yours. Have a lovely day. 🙂
