my stubborn will is learning to bend
Depression is not selfish. Anxiety is not rude. Schizophrenia is not wrong. Mental illness isn’t self-centered, any more than a broken leg or the flu is self-centered. If your mental illness makes you feel guilty, review the definition of “illness” and try to treat yourself with the same respect and concern you would show to a cancer patient or a person with pneumonia."

bonjour-bianca:

You don’t call depression ‘depo.’
You don’t call schizophrenia ‘shiz.’


Why is it okay to call anorexia ‘Ana’ or bulimia ‘Mia?’
