i don’t understand how it’s almost 2019 and people can’t grasp the fact that depression or anxiety isn’t just “oh I’m sad” or “oh I’m scared” and not a cute trend.
it’s not being able to sleep because of thoughts in your head
it’s starving yourself because you either don’t have the motivation to eat or you feel you don’t deserve to eat
its wanting help but fearing people will think you’re crazy
it’s wanting to die even though “you haven’t suffered enough”
it’s crying until your numb even though nothing bad happened
it’s feeling nothing for days and then suddenly everything comes rushing back
it’s not wanting to leave your bed because you’re worried about what will happen if you do, but you don’t have the motivation to get out anyway
it’s not being able to be in large crowds
it’s not being able to talk to people
It isn’t just some fucking trend for internet fame.
at least that’s what my experiences with my mental illnesses entail.
feel free to leave what your illnesses entail. I know what I have to face is completely different from other people, so I would genuinely like to know others experiences. i love you, keep going.
