Mental Health on Yik Yak | I just saw a post that said "imagine cutting 😭" and people wonder why suicide rates rise every year. We are made into a joke. I've struggled since I was 12 and I'm 19 now. And I have scars that I'm not proud of. I have hospital trips I'm not proud of.

I just saw a post that said "imagine cutting 😭" and people wonder why suicide rates rise every year. We are made into a joke. I've struggled since I was 12 and I'm 19 now. And I have scars that I'm not proud of. I have hospital trips I'm not proud of.

Thank you. Thank you genuinely, because same. I’ve been addicted to SH since 12, I’m 20 now and can’t stop. Depression is stuck to me and I’ve been medicated and through therapy and still am and nothing works. And people make jokes about it. It sickens me

I have been to therapy. Been on meds. And nothing helps. Sometimes I have no reason for grabbing my blade other than why not, it's been a while. Mental health is a joke to those who dont struggle. Suicide is demonized. Cutting is seen as attention seeking

People need to educate themselves and learn that depression is like a tumor. It grows and grows and unless you get specific treatment then it won't go away. And sometimes it come back. And that's OK. But not everyone is lucky to get that treatment

Depression sucks. Seriously. We can tame it but it never does go away. People joke about bedrotting but I've been in bed for days and days before. They joke about wanting to die or being sad but they dont know the notes people write or the attempts

It's seriously always "think about others" and thats all we do. But why should we have to live for others? We aren't selfish for that. People have been hung up on by the hotline. Mental health is serious and people say shit that just makes it worse
