ok. its so hard to talk about mental health because everyone online makes it out to be cringe or something to be ashamed of. like those "fake smile" videos who overdo it. sometimes it really feels like a fake smile moment, but it feels so hard to word it without seeming like a pick me. I hate it so much that i and some others feel ashamed to talk about depression becuase its stigmatized as attention seeking. also, a talk or one day of happiness doesnt mean that everything else is sunshine and rainbows for the rest of their lives, it takes time. mental health isnt a competition or a race, everything is valid if it takes a toll on overall mood and stuff. if it hurts, then it matters. I think that if people stop reacting to mental health as being cringe or seeking attention, it would be a lot easier to talk about. check on people. even a faked mental condition is better than losing a life. thank you
so uh yea i just hate the stigma around depression and stuff :/
