Please be aware-
When tears of frustration come to my eyes, I'm not trying to be a 2 year old throwing a tantrum.
I just feel like my mind is broken and I don't know how to continue.
Please be aware-
I'm not actually trying to procrastinate on my work.
I'm just overwhelmed by how much I have to do, and in an attempt to get it all done, I achieve very little.
Please be aware-
If I am doing something like surfing the internet for too long, or binge watching Netflix,
It means I'm trying to take care of myself but I don't know the best way.
Please be aware-
Your assumption that suicide is the most selfish thing someone could do is wrong.
To a suicidal person, it's as selfish as taking a medicine to cure a disease.
In their mind, it's a treatment option.
Please be aware-
Sometimes the people who laugh the most are also the ones who are most unstable
They might be trying to cling to any joy they can.
Please be aware-
Lecturing someone with an anxiety disorder will probably get you nowhere.
They know what is wrong with what they are doing, and they've already beat themselves up over it.
Please be aware-
Telling me to "Get a grip" after an anxiety attack is the worst thing you could do.
To me, it feels like there is nothing left to grip onto.
Please be aware-
Many people with anxiety disorders are reluctant to talk about their disorder.
If they suddenly say something about how bad it is, or that they want help, they are probably hurting a lot more than you think.
