"Dramatic"
"Fake"
"Attention seeker"
That's what most people think,
But it's definitely not.
What's real is like when you're drowning in the middle of the sea.
You keep shouting for some "help",
But no one could even hear your scream.
When you're doing your best to stay control and live,
Even if it's so hard.
When you're bottling things up,
Because you don't want to be a "burden".
When you're crying secretly everyday,
So your loved ones wouldn't worry about you.
When you're about to outburst,
But you keep holding it,
Because there are lots of people around you.
It's not easy as what you think it is,
It's even harder than what you think,
It feels like you're slowly dying,
But still trying to live.
Having depression and anxiety is not easy. Even having any other mental illness is not easy, it is very hard living your life with mental illness. So don't judge people having this illnesses because they are fighting every second, every minute for their life. It may sound so dramatic but that's what really is.
