They seriously upset me. This illness isn't a joke, or something i want to laugh at. It's something that has destroyed any sense of normality in my life. I struggle to get out of bed most days, and have somehow managed to at least get to a point where i can live a somewhat healthy productive life. Seeing people (who don't seem to understand what clinical depression is) joke about it makes me feel invalidated and like one of the largest obsticals in my life is just a punchline to a joke thats not even funny. I feel like i can't avoid them because despite doing everything in ny power to get these kinds of posts off my social media timelines. I'm tired of feeling like one of the hardest parts of being me is nothing but a joke.
