Tbh i keep reblogging your mental illness outreach post because to me its something i don't think people without/friends of those with mental illnesses think about. My friends are quite the same and care for about 5 minutes and move on, but if i don't talk to them about it they get offended..but what did they expect? It honestly makes talking to others feel like a burden but not having anyone to talk about those issues can make it even harder, especially when you aren't receiving help you need..
exactly!!! honestly im sick of my mum telling me that i should think about how my mental health makes her feel?? like so many family members/friends make it about them and really just silence mentally ill people?? apart from a good friend, tumblr is the only place i can open up about it bc i feel as if it’s the only place where people care and understand. and that’s annoying too, when people say ur opening up too much and they have their own problems to worry about but then message u asking to tell them ur problems so that can help of whatever, idk mental illness is incredibly stigmatised and i feel like a lot of mentally ill people wether it be mild or severe are being silenced
