Everyone talks about how important mental health awareness is until you’re the one who is depressed. Then suddenly you're “negative.” A “burden.” “Too much to handle.” people quietly disappear cause nobody likes you when you’re depressed.
Telling your brain "i know you don't wanna do this and it'll be uncomfortable at first, but you can do it buddy. it'll be fine" works way better than it should. sounds too simple but that stubborn organ WILL listen if you're kind to it lol
