unless you've been diagnosed,
nobody cares.
nobody notices how
you suffer
even though you
don't
technically
have depression.
you're still miserable
and possibly
suicidal.

anxiety,
nobody cares.
unless you have a panic attack,
at which point you're labelled a
public embarrassment.

bipolar,
they don't know
what that means.

the only one
people remember
is
depression
because
of
the
butterflies
and
colours
and
the
websites
and
the
harsh
reality
of
suicide.

what if i told you
i had severe anxiety?
(not that i do)
(probably)
how would
you
react?
