DISCLAIMER: I am not in any way calling people with mental illness fakes or being a gatekeeper. Remember, you are all valid, but do not fake mental illness. - Okay, so this makes me SO ANGRY. The people who fake depression and say 'im so sad lemme just : knife emoji:', 'nobody likes me and I'm fat and ugly', etc. Depression is not cute or funny or aesthetic. It's not trendy. Too bad, today it is trendy. Go walk into your local Forever 21. Essentially every product 'sad girl' 'psycho' 'depressed af' and other things. I am quite offended by how many people just take it as a fashion trend, especially those who wear and say 'depression' even though they really aren't. It's disgusting and mocking those who do suffer from mental illness. It happens on social media like Insta, Tumblr, and Scratch too. All the 'sad aesthetic' profiles saying 'don't leave ily. please stay. I'm leaving :(' What I am saying is please DO NOT mock or fake depression, anxiety, etc. - please... Btw, I don't have depression or anything, it's just so awful for people to fake this when other people are really in pain.
