and now a hot take on mental wellness 

i understand the pain of needing a cri de coeur, but you know what's a good way to make your mental illness worse?

constantly posting about how you wish you were dead, how you hate being alive, etc., and making that an integral part of your identity down to your username so that it is always going to be part of your content.

you cannot dig your way out of that hole, folks. it's not going to work.

constantly running those thoughts through your mind, even in small ways, is going to make those mental ruts deeper and deeper. it is going to make it even more difficult if not impossible to truly get better, to cope effectively, and to actually survive.

i understand having the occasional bad day. but when everything you do and everything you are online is pointed to the one purpose of making your mental illness worse... well... you're in for a bad time.

we choose the devil we know over the angel we don't because change is terrifying. but also don't be surprised when these things make you worse and worse and sicker and sicker.

and be mindful that sometimes these communities, memes, and jokes can go beyond gallows humor and become cages for people, dooming them to get worse and worse as they are trapped in those thoughts.

be mindful of how you hurt yourself, and how you hurt others, with this.
