not trying dismiss anyone’s feelings but sometimes i feel like people say they’re depressed or have suicidal ideations just to say that they do. every time i go on instagram or sometimes on twitter i just see everyone be like i’m depressed and then I start questioning it

because to actually admit that you are depressed or went through those tuff times takes a lot of strength and i feel like people who are saying it to say it don’t understand the amount of pain and strength it takes to say that. like you can be sad a couple of days out of the week

but to say that you are depressed or were, and had suicidal ideations you need to actually be serious bc it’s a situation that causes people to take their own lives. so saying it because your sad and not actually being depressed to me is just being disrespectful
