When I write 'Mental Health isn't Real,' it likely evokes a reaction of confusion. It should be clear that it is very real, and the title is only a dramatic representation of where my head is at.

None of the content in this guide is intended to be interpreted as psychological, medical, or clinical advice. If you are experiencing mental distress or suicidal thoughts, please seek help immediately from a qualified mental health professional or emergency service. ********** For too long, we have treated the symptoms of mental distress--anxiety, fatigue, distraction, and intrusive thoughts--as failures or "bugs" in the human system, leading to self-blame and shame. This guide offers a radical, programming-inspired reframing: your symptoms are not bugs; they are features, protective mechanisms working exactly as written, just running an outdated or over-sensitive version of a necessary survival program. By performing a "code review" of eleven common mental health experiences-from the Hyper-Vigilant Alarm of anxiety to the Mandatory System Shutdown of depression-this book encourages you to swap judgment for curiosity, leading you toward the professional "patches and updates" needed to adjust your system settings, not delete them entirely.

There was a mirror in a section off the kitchen. In that mirror, a figure, almost just like him, stood there with a seemingly confused look on their face. Odd. That mirror hadn't been there before. Or, In which I make Yellow Guy and Smart Yellow Guy interact earlier than episode 6.

This is part of a series called "Random Things", where I just write about myself, my thoughts and opinions. This specific writing is about my current mental state, especially since it's been a couple months after quite a stressful major national exam. You may save this series or shall I say, collection of parts since I shall be adding one or two more parts every once in a while and you may want to read up on it, just a couple lines of poetry.
