Its a pain in the ass aye? Alot of us just try to ignore it and get on with our lives only making it harder for ourselves in the long run. Meanwhile most of us dont even realise we have some sort of problem, we think "Im strong. Mental Illness is for the weak. Im better than that" while in reality we are deluding our selves with the illusion that everything is fine, when in reality we are crying on the inside.

So I made this thread about mental illness, so come, have a a seat and talk about it. We wont judge I promise.

Let me start.

Recently I found out that I have Depression. Which is funny I suppose because only last year we were learning that depression can affect anyone and I laughed, agreeing with my classmaes that "Depression is for the weak". On the other hand my friends have always, for as long as I can remember, have called me "Depressing" due to my pessimistic outlook on life.

The reason why I never realised I had depression is because of a few reasons. Firstly Depression isnt what you think it is. Most of you will probably think depression is always feeling sad, and while im sure this may be true for some people, for me it isnt. For me it means unable to feel emotion. Dont get me wrong I can still laugh, cry, sympathise amd empathise but none of which produce any feeling. 

Secondly it comes on slowly, so slowly in fact you dont notice until you can no longer what it is like to feel emotion.

At first I thought "Wait... I think Ive travelled to a higher plane of thought, where I need not worry about the petty emotions of mortals". Then It was revealed to me that no, I had not become a god just someone with a mental health problem.

Cant really think of anything else to say so thats all I will say for now, although I will probably remeber something later. In the mean time come take a seat with me and tell me about your mental health issues.
