Hearing jokes about anxiety and depression piss me off to no end. You don't get what it's like to have this crippling sense that no one, not even your family likes you. Also you don't know what it's like to think you're annoying 24/7, constantly asking yourself: why do people listen to me? I sound awful. Anxiety and depression isn't just "oh I'm sad I made a B on that really hard Chemistry test." It's feeling tired and fatigued all the god damn time. This year has not been a good year for me, hense the lack of updating but, that's the other thing. I love writing, it's a coping mechanism but when I have a fucking teacher telling me my ideas are worthless because I wrote in pink fucking pen it just shuts me down. I have been willing myself to write and I'm sorry I don't have much to show for it you guys. But please remember before you joke about anxiety and depression. You may think it makes you look cool but, to people like me or my friends who struggle with this shit everyday it's not. It's you being an inconsiderate asshole who thinks mental illness is a joke and romanticized.
