I know there's been posts about this before, but I'm feeling angry tonight and I want to know how many other people hate this?
Mental illness is romanticized in movies and television, fifteen year old girls posting photos of self harm and quotes about depression thinking that it makes them cool or trendy.
Yet, does this help to end the stigma? No, the people who are truly mentally ill are still just as ostracized. It's all fun and games until someone with a real illness, a real disease, speaks out.
I'm sorry, I'm just angry and ranting tonight.
