I love this comment.Yep. The likes of Buzzfeed making FuNnY quizes around anxiety and tit adds to it. Real depression is no joke. 'High functioning' shite as well. No. People have said im HF when riddled with depression, stress (to the point my hairs falling out), anxiety etc.. its not high functioning, its adrenaline and autopilot, and ya fight or flight going into overdrive.
I love to see MH discussed more but its all platitudes. The attitudes are all still the same. Depression and anxiety (always a package innit) is acceptable when it doesnt impact others/work. Other MH conditions are still deeply misunderstood and ignored (BPD is the latest bandwagon, but personality disorders are majorly misunderstood).
Real depression, real mental health struggles,
Its messy, it’s dirty and secretive and dark.
‘the white company’ depression (yes I’m picking a work friendly brand) is pretty, and Instagram ready, and yes you might stay in your pj’s for a bit but it’s ok, it’s suitable for the gram content.
