This. I've mentioned before that I have extreme anxiety issues, panic attacks, a whole slew of "brain fun time nonsense". But I control myself. I don't always do it right, sometimes it gets ahead of me, and I'm still upset and worried about things even when I know better than to actually express my feelings, because my friends don't need to spend 24/7 reassuring me. I'm not a great person for doing this; it's simply part of being a functioning member of society. I'm giving others the same respect I want from them. And that's why it burns me so hard when I hear people whining about their issues and "it's too hard to change". Yeah, it's hella hard, but seeing people play the victim card for crap that I've spent the last 20 years struggling to control is insulting. I get that there are a million different mental issues out there in a million different configurations, and it's not "one solution fits all", but there is one common ground - an attempt to improve.

Oh, and playing the victim card is just a sad, last-ditch attempt at garnering cheap pity.

I'm far from a strong person, so if I can do it, you can. You just don't want to.
