I used to suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts. It really irritates me when people use having a mental illness as a medal and show it off like it’s a special thing that makes you cool. Having a mental illness sucks, and people who don’t have one that claim to have one to get attention or validation can really devalue the illness and make the people who actually have it think that having it is okay and that they shouldn’t get help. Mental illnesses being a trend is disgusting and should not be tolerated.
