Nobody likes you when you're depressed.
Plain and simple. We can talk all day about mental health and how important it is, but the moment you are depressed, people start to distance themselves. They see you as negative, a burden, and someone too heavy to handle.
💀There's a point in time where being the "good girl" reaches a limit and when that limit is reach, one simply doesn't a fuck anymore, especially the part of playing by the rules only to get screwed over in the long run.
I saw a woman on TikTok say she was a “good girl” her whole life. Did everything the “right” way. Followed the rules. Kept the peace. Put everyone else first.
Now she’s in her 40s and said all she feels like she has to show for it is grief and a lot of built-up anger.
And honestly… as a woman in her 20s, I felt that deeply . Because nobody really talks about how being the “good girl” often benefits everyone around you… except the actual good girl.
Everyone else gets the patience, the understanding, the sacrifice.
And she’s the one left realizing she spent years shrinking herself just to keep everyone else comfortable.

I’m sorry but if you know someone who is struggling mentally and they disappear randomly and are unreachable for several days alarm bells should be blaring…please check on your friends, literally do ANYTHING and not just wait
I absolutely HATE the idea of ‘well someone else has it worse’ like NO.
Your pain and trauma are completely valid despite what someone else went through..
