Talking About Mental Health
Is kind of overrated and counterproductive to be honest. All it does is create unnecessary tension and drama with people who don’t know what it’s like to be depressed/anxious/etc., it gives genuinely terrible people an excuse or a cop out for their actions, and it ends up harming people with a mental health condition even more due to everyone else’s ignorance or selfish approach to the topic.
And I say this as someone who’s been struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts for a long time.
Like I truly regret ever letting people into my world like this.

It helps some people to vent. Honestly...with the way the world is right now, I think letting people vent is honestly the best thing we can do to help their mental health. As a nation, we are at a crossroads with health and health insurance, specifically. A lot of people are being cut off Medicaid. My benefits, even as a disabled adult, have decreased. For the first time since I have been disabled, and I have been disabled since 2011, I have co-pays on ALL of my meds, and the most expensive one is my LIFE SAVING BLOOD THINNER. Mental health has been cut SEVERELY by this regime. So I think the LEAST we can do is listen to someone who has had a bad day, and maybe prevent a suicide by just listening. It's free. And it makes the world a better place. Just a thought. ✌🏻
Mhmm
