Hemophilia runs in the family A bleeding disorder I was fortunate My sister got the gene, not me She is a carrier and has mild Hemophilia If she had been born a boy, it would have been far more severe But even with her mild disorder She spontaneously begins bleeding Without anything even happening to her I spontaneously begin bleeding too Even though nothing is happening to me But you can't see that bleeding It's internal Not inside my body But inside my soul. Or something. I'm not really sure where it hurts, all I know is that it hurt a lot People say, just be happy! Don't you want to be happy? Can't you just ignore it? NO. That's like asking my sister When she spontaneously gets ****** noses Just stop bleeding! Don't you want to stop bleeding? Can't you just ignore the fact that blood is pouring out of you? NO just because the pain is not visible DOESN'T MEAN IT ISN'T THERE. IT IS NOT ESCAPABLE THE SAME WAY BLEEDING ISN'T That is why I'm trying to find a distraction from the pain Because when my sister gets a ****** nose, she just goes and distracts herself with a movie, so she doesn't pay attention to the bleeding My point is, though No. I can't just "be happy" I'm bleeding too And it is spontaneous and inexplicable YOU JUST CAN'T F*CKING SEE IT
sorry, just getting sick of people thinking depression is the same thing as sadness Like a disease of the mind is something you can CHOOSE to ignore To feel or not to feel To suffer or not to suffer It is not for attention It is not for any other reason Than Brokenness that you can't explain And wish it would go away If you wouldn't tell someone with a bleeding disorder who is randomly bleeding to stop bleeding, they are being overdramatic, Then don't say that to someone with depression about their sadness.
