Anxiety

Hi, random human beings I have never actually met, seen, etc before! Today, I want to talk about something more serious.
Now playing: Breathe Me- Sia
So many people assume anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, etc are curable by just being happy. If you have never gone through an anxiety/panic attack, depression or something like that, it is impossible to understand how hard it is to just feel normal.
I have went through a very hard time and came out scarred, battered and bruised but I am alive. I have social anxiety, OCD, generalized panic disorder, and I used to be depressed. It definitely doesn't help that I only have two real best friends. Now, that is just me; I have no idea what you are going through. I consider myself lucky that my situation is not as bad as other people's. People are so strong, but sometimes, we break. And sometimes when we break, just laughing and moving on dose not help. So many people are so ignorant and it isn't even their fault! Schools don't teach mental health, at my school, we have an assembly once a year. That is not enough! People need to know about how hard it is, how much it hurts when you can't get out of your own head.
What I want people to understand is that mental health is not something that should be taking lightly, ignored, or treated like it is fake.
The month of April is Self Harm Awareness Month. On April 11th, wear a yellow ribbon, get other people to wear a yellow ribbon or anything yellow. Don't be ignorant to how mental health affects everyone.
I know this is a short post but I can't write much more about this without going into a panic attack. Thank you for reading this and…
Until the next imaginary unicorn visits me,
OCD Keyboard out!
