Mental Health?
What is mental health?
It the thundering thought running a million times a second telling you you’re nothing, worthless, stupid, ugly a waste of space. But yet we are expected to function jus as well as everyone else but what they don’t see is the bags under your eyes because you haven’t slept for days or even weeks because your brain never stops the overthinking turning every small circumstance into the end of the world, but you still have to sleep eat go to work complete school work perfectly! You don’t even know who you are anymore its like the mental illness has taken over your brain leaving no room for who you once were your hobbies used to be watching tv reading and riding bikes but now those happy hobbies have transformed into hating yourself, cutting, starving, constantly making everyone else happy and overthinking. You think to yourself what happened to me? I used to be such a happy person its like you don’t know yourself anymore like your jus simply here with no purpose for you life and you wonder why am I here? You begin to think of killing yourself because anything is better than the constant pain you are forced to live through people start to notice that by now your smile has completely disappeared and replaced with a fake plastered smile but it doesn’t fool anyone your miserable but youre terrified to admit it you don’t wanna be labeled as crazy or even a lost cause you desperately want everything to return to what they once was
