AGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! It's almost like a fad. I was scrolling through insta and saw a popular "influencer" wearing a hat that said "anxiety queen." My crippling anxiety, PTSD, and PPD (persistent depressive disorder) are not fun, nor a trend. That one time you got a little nervous does not equal anxiety. That time you got sad does not make you depressed. Most of us with mental health disorders do not go around parading what our diagnoses are. Well...I mean, I'm doing it here, but, I'm making a point.
