this is really selfish but why can’t mental illness be like any other kind of sickness where you go to hospital and your loved ones come and give you flowers and tell you that they love you and hold your hand and make sure you get better why doesn’t that happen instead of awkward silences and embarrassing tears and messy bedsheets and a bunch of other stuff no one actually talks about w h y Id like to add to this. It makes me so mad that this isnt a thing thats commonly practiced. Most of you know I suffer from some pretty unsettling bouts of depression, and that I have a history with self-harm etc. GOD FREAKING FORBID, I bring up my therapy sessions or the medication I need to take or my scars. But no, I brought up my therapy sessions and a teacher decided to tell me (when I wasnt even speaking to her) Why would you tell people you have therapy? Thats not something they should know. And a bunch of other insulting things. Or if I mention I have to take a few pills to help me FREAKING SMILE, its everyone staring at me awkwardly, like if I bring it up in a RELEVANT discussion. On to my scars. I FOUGHT A WAR WITH MYSELF. AND THOSE ARE FREAKING BATTLE WOUNDS. You dont understand how proud I am of myself that those arent fresh, and are just /scars/. And it hurts to hear, /what the **** is wrong with you?!/ or anything along those lines, when Im doing so well. So... Just... Im sick, Im sick like someone with a disease. Thats what people with mental problems are. There is no difference. I mean they are different diseases, but I and others shouldnt feel cut off from the world because its seen as /wrong/ or /weird/...
