having mental illness is not a choice in my opinion-  but how you choose you deal with it is

True, in so much as they are responsible for themselves and must seek out the cures on their own if they are not yet a danger to themselves or others. 

False, in that based on the disorder itself you end up with specifics that could fix it, rendering a lot of available help essentially useless. Imagine buying a book with tips to help exist with ADHD for example if you have Depression, it won't correlate. 

and if people do not want to sympathize with your struggles or try to understand that you are doing the best that you can trying to manage the stuff going on in your brain that is for the most part out of your control

Awareness is key in anyone fixing themselves, you have to recognize that problems exist to begin to work on them. Recognizing the symptoms, seeing yourself enter episodes, is the best chance people have in circumventing it over treating themselves. Recognizing a mental state that's being entered into as it's happening can help with escaping it, as long as the trap doesn't become indulgence in it, such as using the disorder as an excuse to not improve. 

Even admitting to being crazy, much like admitting to addiction, is taken in the field as better than a nutbar saying they're just fine, as the former is at least liable to look for help and already has distrust in their automatics while the latter will see no problems with continuing forward as they already are. 

An issue I see in you is not wanting to accept help when you really need it. The more lost you are the stronger you lash out even at people trying to provide you aid. This in the future if you end up having an episode in public could end up with you turning away assistance, and if you won't accept their help then there's little they can do. 

and you are staying out of legal trouble and trying to be at peace with yourself and other people-  but they are going to try to accuse you of lying and making up that you have mental illness because "you do not want to be more neurotypical,  ooh you just must not want to have an easier better life with less inner torment and suffering"  then that is their problem,

A lot of people won't say you're mentally ill until your problems become completely unrelatable. I remember trying to describe my OCD habits to people, and they seemed to find that weirder than hearing about suicidal ideation. 

but I am not going to be verbally abused and accused of stuff that is not true for long before I emotionally and physically distance myself from you and I have had to do this with some people in my life

I still think gaining a tolerance against things that make you uncomfortable would be an ideal step for you to take, and is a step most around here have otherwise already taken. 

Toxicity will always be around, it's natural, but how you respond to it ought to be in your control.

^  can you help me with these ?  how do I know if I am a danger to myself and others ?  like for example,  I have never suicide attempted or physically harmed anyone else,  but sometimes I say really messed up hateful and sometimes even violent things and I also tend to socially isolate a lot

and how do I accept that toxicity will always be around ?  I used to think that toxicity was bad but more and more I am realizing that it is actually "normal" and that it probably is not going to be leaving our human species anytime soon
