I have no clue what mental illness is like but when you’re sixteen and you’d rather die than wake up the next morning and the things that you used to enjoy are now only categorized into: “keeps me sane”, “gets me away from home”, and “makes me forget about how much I want to **** myself” and your life consists of going to the class you continue to fail talking to the people you call your friends (but really hate, but no one else will sit with you at lunch) sustaining the body you’ll never be comfortable in surviving at home because you don’t have anywhere else to sleep loving the girl that will never love you back and etc and etc upon infinite etcetera when death feels much sweeter than life then something has to be awry.
