Anxiety is a thing that many people struggle with on a daily basis. One of the things in this world that makes me the most angry is when people claim to have a mental illness such as anxiety, depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, etc. simply for the sake of attention or because they think having a mental illness is something to be romanticized or will make them more "edgy" or "grunge". Well, tonight that has been upsetting me even more than usual so I decided to write this so that everyone out there claiming to have a mental illness just to look cool can sit down and keep their ignorant mouths shut. Those of you out there suffering from a mental illness, you are strong and brave, and you can do this!

Unhealthy Obsession |18+|
-Let's get this straight. From a dead end job to a useless crazy ex boyfriend- my happiness is with my best friend yet the fear of our relationship ending completely scares me and id rather fake it and be in fear than find out and never be happy. It sucks, seeing him everyday and knowing what i feel for him and how deep those feelings go is painful...- But when he comes around everything changes for the best and for the worst. As a whole they are deeply loved and equally as hated by others but the love from one another is undeniable, if only she wasnt so selfish with her choices and words- -Lying, cheating, sneaking, crying- many acts and emotions come from within when there's someone you love unaware of that love.. Possibly growing to love someone else right before your eyes..Its gut wrenching, i know because ive fucked up. Its worse when you're aware of the harm you cause yourself and others but dont care how the outcome turns out to be. Why would it matter how it effects you if youre used to pain and people leaving? it wouldnt. All because you take comfort in your own mind and mental illness, once you realize you have freewill it may become a bad thing if youre careless.- - Gabriella White.Complete
