I've heard of this brand before, and I've never felt represented by these because I don't think mental illness is something that is in any way adorable. It's something I wish that I could live without every day. I don't want it to define me and I don't want it to be representative of me. It's less a longing to "be normal" and more a desire to live without suffering as a constant. I can never be proud of my mental illness because I just can't understand being proud of having something that inherently reduces my quality of life.
I don't want to buy something like a plush as a testament to my failing health and my reason to take myself out of this life. It wouldn't be like, say, buying ear plugs to cope with misophonia, or buying a fidget to cope with anxiety -- because it's a purely aesthetic reminder of my illness. It's meant to be paid attention to. And that just isn't something I want yet another reminder of. The designs are very adorable but I'd never be able to look at them without these ideas in the back of my head.
I can understand why other people would be comforted by them and feel represented though. It's probably very refreshing to see that such a rarely talked about disorder such as misophonia is being recognized through this plush. I'm happy you find comfort in an outlet which I cannot. I hope you'll be able to get your hands on that misophonia bunny if you don't already have it
