tbh i find that people who post that stuff either don't have depression/anxiety at all and just want attention or they barely have it, such as maybe feeling a bit nervous when in public but able to properly function and communicate without bad thoughts or panic attacks.
i'll admit and quickly say that i have both these illnesses and made an attempt on my life once, however so far i only speak about my depression and anxiety to my parents or one or two close friends. i don't even think anyone else knows that i have it.
i don't even understand why people post such things, it's like their trying to wave it in your face and say "look at me, pay attention to me!"
now i'm not saying speaking out about the problems you may have is wrong, it's always good to speak to someone but how is uploading a post saying you have depression/it's hard to live going to help? is a therapist going to come knocking at your door saying they saw your facebook post and wanted to help? i don't understand
Anyone else get annoyed with pity posts?
