When you tell me that everybody feels this way. When you tell me that I'm today's society everyone is depressed. When you tell me that it's normal and that I shouldn't worry about it. When you tell me it's not serious and that it's normal. Do you know what I hear? I hear that the way I feel doesn't matter, that being depressed does not matter, that the way I feel is invalid because everyone feels that way, that I am overreacting and this is the new normal. Do you know what I think? I think that I'm better off dead than in a world were everyone is miserable, in a world where my mental illness is 'normal', in a world where I am not taken seriously. Why would I want to be here? Why would I want to survive this? Why would I want to exists in a dark and miserable world?
