*CONTROVERSY*
I feel like the reason people romanticize depression is because that's how they feel, they want somebody to help them.
If they have anxiety they want someone to hold their hand and talk to people for them and not get angry when they apologize or question things.
If they have depression they want someone who can pull them out of it, help and care and remind them they're loved.
No mental illnesses aren't beautiful, they quite the opposite, gross and mean and nothing anyone should experience. But that doesn't mean that someone giving support and love and showing them they can overcome this, isn't beautiful and something to write about.
