>>81574626I dislike how normalized it is now because it shouldn't be treated like a fun little identity, it is literally a mental illness, and I'm not trying to say that in the shaming way.
Imagine if people started seeing severe depression as a fun and quirky thing to identify with, it not only gives them treatment they don't need/ can be harmful, and takes away from the people that are actually severely depressed.
Everyone treats it like a fuckin game.
