I was diagnosed officially with depression and general anxiety disorder last year.
I saw three girls say on social media say today that they were "depressed" because their mom forgot to buy them their favorite cereal. Because their new iphone wasn't the color that they wanted. Because their toenails color didn't match their fingernails color.
I take pills so that I don't have a bad movie playing over and over and over again in my head all day. I don't like taking them, but if I don't, I'm afraid of what will happen.
Sometimes I become so sad that all I can do is lay on the bed and stare at the wall, thinking nothing, because I feel like I am in a dark hole that is impossible for me to get myself out of.
I'm afraid all the time of the inevitable doom that I feel.
You're mocking me. You will never understand. This is not something that you should make into a trending hashtag on social media and then use to not talk about the real problems we face, but to talk about petty problems in your lives.
I am suffering, and all you can think about is how "depressed" you are that your parent(s) won't buy you that new pair of boots.
