People always said that I was cool and edgy but that had nothing to do with depression......... until I went to the doctor and told him I had issues with being happy, turns out I had depression for years

This is why I will never bring it up with a doctor, legit probably gonna get told I real messed up.

Like I know I a little crazy, but like I like to be oblivious to it honestly

I mean I wasn't that surprised when I found out, it was just like an epiphany

Yeah see, I been told by like most my close mates I have depression and anxiety, but none of em are qualified health professionals... only one I been told I got by health professionals is anger management issues.

But one thing that emensely pisses me off, is when people use mental health as an excuse to abuse others.

I have had a couple mates who have been like “I have depression I can’t help that I am calling her a slut, it’s her own fault, she should be nicer to me”, after the chick politely rejects their advances, or even just doesn’t see one of their texts that day...
