Ha! I DID actually just make that up! That was total sarcasm and I don't think it translated very well.
I'm just being bitter. My parents always told me there was no such thing as mental illnesses and my severe suicidal depression was just me being lazy. So yes... I painted it with a wide brush on purpose.
Had I actually GOTTEN help when I needed it just perhaps I would have landed a steady job sometime BEFORE the age of 30 and I wouldn't be stuck with thousands of dollars of debt because of manic spending.
Just bitter. Is all.
After reading that back I'm sure I sounded like a whiny "angsty" teenager who's getting no attention. Apologies. That was just my 17 year old self getting very angry at being ignored. I'm actually 31 and a parent myself. (Granted, she's only 2 years old. A far cry from her teenage years.)
