Mental Health Awareness Week
So I heard that someone close to me recently said “why can’t people just get over depression; just build a bridge and get over it” and frankly I cannot believe the insolence, obnoxiousness, and straight up ignorance of this person. Depression is a fucking mental illness–look it up please and thank you–and it’s an ongoing struggle and it cannot “just go away”. Would you tell someone with cancer to just “get over it”? Do you even realize how insensitive you are? Why make assumptions and harshly judge someone for something you’ve never even experienced?
