Exactly! I think some people just will never understand serious mental health issues. I've gotten it all, that I need to do x, I just have to do y, you can't do z. Try harder, be better. You can be sad, you can tell us anything, but no, not like that. Only in the way that's normal and cool and doesn't make people uncomfortable to witness. It makes me really hate people, sometimes. I don't want to be given a pep talk that sounds more like a scolding from Mrs. Sharon with her husband and two kids and normal problems at home. But you can't say that without sounding like a self-absorbed asshole, so you say thank you and pretend it didn't make you feel worse lest you be othered further in their eyes.
Thank you for wallowing with me for a bit. All things considered I do think that you and I are doing pretty okay given our circumstances, Petite.
