The one thing I would change about myself is...well...myself

End the Stigma

The stigma surrounding mental health is ridiculous. If I experience symptoms of hypertension, I can seek help with little fear of judgment. And by receiving treatment, my risk of heart attack and stroke is greatly reduced. But If I experience symptoms of depression, there is such a stigma that many are afraid, and as with hypertension, chances of complications increase greatly with delay of treatment. And just as a heart attack or stroke can cause devastating effects on the patient and family, so does a suicide attempt. An illness is an illness; no matter what organ is the origin, and so they deserve equal treatment and respect. The stigma needs to end.

Nothing seems real anymore.

Time has no meaning to me anymore.

Minutes feel like hours. Hours feel like days. But when I look back, months have gone by like days. Years have gone by like months. It all feels wrong.

society: you don't need to be skinny to be beautiful

society: but here are 600 diet fads

society: and a million skinny celebrities to compare yourself to

society: and omg you're eating that? don't you think you've had enough?

society: starving yourself will just make you fatter !!!!! science says so !!!!!!

society: but if you just dropped ten more pounds you'd be so much prettier.

society: it's so important to love yourself.... ( but you can only do that if you're perfect so you should REALLY get on a treadmill)

me: what

What does it feel like to be “normal”?

Sometimes I wonder how it feels to be a normal, non-depressed person. And I know that normal is such a relative term. Maybe just a mentally healthy person.

What do they think about? Are they usually happy? How does it feel to be content? Why are they so afraid to die?

I just want to step into their minds and experience it all. Just to see what it’s like.

Awkward

Luckily for me I’ve already established myself as an awkward person, so the continuous awkwardness that comes out of my mouth is expected by my family, friends and coworkers

Therapy makes me nervous

Therapist: So what are three things you like about yourself?

Me: Uhhh...I have a rockin immune system, 2 very functional kidneys, and the 1/3 nice voices in my head? ...... I meant to say my hair for that last one...
