“Psychosis is a Mindset” – My Uncle

I talked to my uncle yesterday and he said this. I literally never share things he says but this takes the cake for a while. I have Bipolar I and I recently found out I have TBI from physical abuse I suffered as a child via the hands of my Dad (TW) and while he did say "You have valid reasons to think about what you think you're dealing with" he did also say "It will get better if I got a job" – He doesn't know or believe I'm on SSI and have been for years because of the fact that I have been to 15+ mental hospitals and suffered through 3-4 major psychotic episodes in the past. I am stable now and have been for the past two years so I am taking what he said differently I just wanted to share what he said because to me it's so draconian and out of touch it is almost laughable.

What do you think about the title and how would you respond if someone said this to you?
