I vlog daily about living with GAD, MDD, and Panic Disorder. I show what life is really like for someone mentally ill, and I am training a service dog.
Dear parents,
IT SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GET TO THE POINT OF YOUR CHILD THREATENING SUICIDE FOR YOU TO FINALLY TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY WHEN THEY SAY THEY'RE STRUGGLING.
The holiday season can be hell for some individuals struggling from
•depression
•anxiety
•eating disorders
•OCD
•PTSD
or any mental illness.
Please be aware of this.
Just because the holidays are fun for you doesn’t mean that’s the case for everyone. 👐🏼❤️
No, depression is actually not a choice. It’s a terrible disease that affects about 300 million people worldwide. End the stigma. 👐🏼❤️ https://t.co/yKDEmFwIRp
8 things you never say to someone with a mental illness:
“Get over it.”
“Snap out of it!”
“Stop being overdramatic.”
“You have so much to be happy about.”
“Just think positive!”
“At least it’s not cancer.”
“You’re just stressed.”
“Stop feeling bad for yourself.”
👐🏼❤️
