I hate that mental disorders have turned into a competition. You can't discuss eating habits without someone saying how they survived off green tea for three weeks and weighed 4 stone. You can't discuss your depression because another person has already tried to commit suicide 8 times and they're only 12. You can't discuss self harm because you punch your leg till it turns purple whilst they slice their arms to the bone. You can't talk about addiction because someone else will be facing their crack addiction for 18 years. Every god damn time you even come close to wanting to reach out you know there's no point because in other people's eyes you're never sick enough. There's always someone worse off. That's the problem with attitudes to mental health. This 'oh suck it up you're not as bad as me/them' HAS to stop. You have no idea how much a problem affects a person because, okay it might not seem nothing to you but in their eyes their entire world is breaking down and they just have to wait till they figure it out on their own, or become so sick that people can't deny it anymore. And by then it's usually too late.
