shut the fuck up omg. you guys have so much empathy for every other mental illness except ed. when someone who is severely depressed tells you they haven’t showered in a year, you are kind. but when i tell you what my mental illness drove me to do its this.
i've genuinely struggled my whole life with feeling empathy. like i still feel cognitively empathy (rarely but i have before) but like im so bad with affective empathy💔 i don't get how people can physically feel what another person feels, i barely even understand people😭
I wish mental health was taken more seriously in black families. I hate how common it is to just brush everything off by saying “this is some White people bullshit”
