Things I really wish people knew about having a mental illness

Written By Nat Weaver

Things I really wish people knew about having a mental illness:

  • There isn’t always a reason you feel down.

  • It’s not attention seeking.

  • It’s not being lazy.

  • You can’t just “get over it.”

  • It’s not something to be embarrassed about or ashamed of.

  • It’s not easy.
