I just want to say something, I was reading a book and this girl basically had the symptoms of depression. She didn’t tell anyone about it but yet she self harmed, etc.. and then people in the comments said things such as “not her self diagnosing” , “you can’t self diagnose yourself with depression..” and etc.. like I get it, don’t self diagnose. But some people that do actually have depression, anxiety, bipolar, etc. are super scared to admit it or to tell their parents. In my case, I’m scared to because I know my dad will tell me I don’t and I need to get over it. If he knew some things that I thought or do he would yell at me. And I can’t deal with that. My mom, I’m not too sure what she’d do but she would make a big deal out of it and I don’t want that. My sister, she’d get me help but I’m still scared. I don’t know if that makes sense but I hope it does so some of you understand. Some people do self diagnose and do it for attention, but a lot of people know that they have something whether that be anxiety, depression or bipolar. But they are just to scared to admit it to someone. So stop fucking trying to bring them down, keep you hate comments to yourself. It’s 2021 for gods sake, try to be a better person!
