As you may know, the Saturday Night Live comedian has been very open about his struggle with borderline personality disorder. He also undergoes regular treatment to manage Crohn’s disease and has battled substance abuse.
Apparently he’s been receiving a lot of comments from fans who are speculating that his mental health impacts his new relationship.

Taking to Instagram Story on Thursday, the 24-year-old wrote:
“Normally I wouldn’t comment on something like this cause like fuck you. But I’ve been hearing a lot of ‘people with BDP can’t be in relationships’ talk. I just wanna let you know that’s not true. Just because someone has a mental illness does not mean they can’t be happy and in a relationship. It also doesn’t mean that person makes the relationship toxic.”

Good for him for taking a stand for all those facing similar struggles! Good luck, bb!
