Minimizing depression, anxiety or our mental illness. Do you do this? #anxiety #depression

To minimise the effects of depression, anxiety, and any mental disease, I have found that isolation makes the symptoms be less acute.

Who is "we"? The younger generations definitely put respect on mental health. And that's a good thing

I think minimizing is a defense mechanism of sorts—how we survive. I sometimes do this with my trauma, although I know it’s total bullshit. I’ll even question if my trauma was really “that bad,” even though I know it was. It was fucking terrifying at the time, and I end up telling myself “Girl. What you experienced was an actual fucking trauma. You had to fight like hell to stay here.”

The "help" is ineffective or unavailable. Or intolerable medication.

You can have right to struggle but no one will provide the funding to escape the struggle

❤

I minimize all the time to get through life.

Sorry. Katie. I like you. But, your wrong. In my circumstances

Sure but having a place to turn for real help.. It's expensive, it takes forever to get in somewhere and then your symptoms get minimized for you bc you don't come off as depressed.. the search is too gd expensive to find a decent doctor and so depressing on it's own you give up. It's too much of a fight

For me it's others telling me I shouldn't feel that way and honestly that makes it much worse.

How I feel all the time

The truth is, every single human being on the planet goes through has trauma, depression, anxiety etc.

So true 🎉

People always tell me "You're just making yourself feel that way, you can stop feeling that anytime you want". Says people who don't struggle with what I struggle with!

Thank you, Katie

I don’t think the swear words add anything to your content, in fact, you’re alienating people for no reason.

Moving to America triggered my depression. I blame my parents for moving us.

Minimise it is the only way it works ,if I talk about it it triggers it.

I need help lot of people are saying I don’t have anxiety but I do it because they took one stupid test just having anxiety

Thank you Katie
You are REAL.

I mean I rarely think of my trauma not because I’m trying to hide from it or burry it but because I know that I have no right to complain. When there is much worse pain in the world. As a man I have never been raped or anything like that so even though I had a rough early childhood. I never thought about it because I’m afraid that if I compare my trauma to someone else’s i try to think man I’ve had worse than that which would make me narcissistic and egotistic. Though we all are subconsciously it’s one thing. I try to avoid to open my mind to things most people don’t see.
