Just Don't


Depression: Don't tell me you understand because you get sad sometimes.

 

Insomnia: Don't tell me you're an insomniac because you missed a few nights of sleep.

 

Eating Disorder: Don't tell me you have an eating disorder because you missed a meal.

 

Bipolar: Don't tell me you're bipolar because you get mood swings on your period.

 

Anxiety: Don't tell me you have anxiety because you got nervous before an exam.

 

ADHD: Don't tell me you have ADHD because you're hyper sometimes.

 

Schizophrenic: Don't tell me you're a schizo because you sometimes see shadows and hear sounds at night.

 

OCD: Don't tell me you to have OCD because you like to wash your hands after you eat.

 

Self harm: Don't tell me you understand because you once skinned your knee to get out of sport.

 

Suicidal: Don't tell me you too are suicidal because you would rather die then miss a concert.

 

Just don't.
