In revisiting the mental health sphere lately, I'm reminded of just how unbelievably weak and cliché the various tropes are. I feel like people just parrot each other over and over with this garbage. Youtube and social media are the worst for this kind of thing.
"It's okay to feel how you feel." Well thanks, Random! I was really beating myself up over it. What I needed was permission from a total stranger to allow myself to feel my own feelings. What a crock.
"There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn't." Are you serious? What if someone was terminally ill, would you still tell them that? Hope is incredibly toxic if there is no realistic chance of improvement.
"This too shall pass." No dipshit, many things never pass. We're often stuck with them. Why is that so hard for people to reconcile? Sometimes there is no getting better.
"You don't have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you." Wow, is that all? If people knew how to do that, they wouldn't struggle with mental health in the first place.
I just can't anymore with this stuff. I'm going to do something less torturous, like put my balls in the blender.
