Stop romanticizing mental illnesses.
They aren't "cute" or "funny".
They are serious illnesses that control people's lives and should not be taken lightheartedly.
All across Wattpad, the plots of almost every single phan fan fiction is "dan wants to die but phil saves him !!!" or "dan is gonna kill himself but phil fixes it with kisses and he's happy now!!!!"
I see why everyone hates the phandom now.
No. That's not how mental illnesses work.
Yes, someone can help you by giving you support and loving you wether it's as a friend or as lover but nobody can cure an entire disease through love. It takes months or years of therapy and constant battles with yourself, it takes learning to love and accept yourself, and sometimes it takes medical help. One person can't just cure it all with a hug. They sure as hell can help it but they can't solve it all.
Even when I was in a fairly healthy relationship I still wasn't emotional or mentally stable, my boyfriend couldn't fix me.
I had to fix me.
It takes more than one person to cure yourself, it takes you to cure yourself.
I'm sorry if this is offensive or if anyone doesn't agree with me but I'm sick and tired of people romanticizing mental illnesses and making them seem cutesy and fun.
