On the flip side I love that you spoke out about how it makes you feel and the issues. You are really standing up for everyone with mental illness and for that I am so proud of you.  |
My problem is that they think they are offering a helpful solution when instead they are just fibbing their friends off on a hotline. And I do feel like 75% of my Facebook friends post this because it's "cool" to behave like you're in support of people with depression. I call shenanigans on it, because they know I have ptsd and depression and they walked away from me and distanced themselves from me when the **** hit the fan. Instead telling me to call a hotline that only ended in my violation and abuse.
But, this is just my opinion of those posts. I think it's like "caring-lite." Instead of truly caring.
