Nothing's Wrong

They sicken me

People who tell me

"Depression isn't a disease"

"Just get over it"

"Stop being so moody all the time"

"It's all in your head"

"Your overreacting"

Saying mental disorders aren't diseases is the same as

Telling someone paralyzed

"It's all in your head"

"You could walk if you tried, your just lazy"

It's the same as telling someone with the flu

"It will go away, you just have to ignore it"

It's the same as telling someone who is autistic

"It's just a phase, you'll grow out of it eventually"

There's a difference between being sad, and having depression.

"Sad" is a feeling

Depression is a disease

Anxiety is a disease

Schizophrenia is a disease

Bipolar is a disease

Anorexia is a disease

Bulimia is a disease

The only difference,

There is no cure.

They are something you're stuck with for life

They eat away at you until nothing is left

But an empty shell.
