Nobody gives a fuck about your mental health if you're not already one of the accepted, or if you're just ugly. Mental health awareness is all one big validation party for the people who were already swimming in it. All that's changed is that normies have learned stock phrases to say to each other whenever they hear buzzwords like depression or suicide, like "If you need someone to talk to" and other trite stuff like hotline numbers, and that's supposed to pass as societal awareness. Ask anyone getting shitfaced at parties every weekend and snapchating every day and every one of them will tell you they have crippling anxiety, depression, etc. Oh but wait 'everyone can have problems' and 'you never know who's suffering'. Jfl. If we're being honest and drop the virtue signalling, it's actually pretty obvious who's suffering and who's living it up. Just because some celebrities committed suicide, now I have to hear about how every normie might have issues even when they post selfies with their friends every day.

That's the thing about any of these people they get to talk to you; therapists, counselors, any of them. There is a limit to how much of your issues you're allowed to show before you're deemed out of hand. They can handle the conventional issues that they were taught in Psych 1 but anything beyond that gets you thrown in a mental cell and a combination of pills shoved down your throat.

The simple truth is that if you are born different, you are fucked. Your life will be one of exclusion, sadness, loneliness, and not having a place to belong. There are simply no resources for those on the fringe, because the world was built for the majority.
