You say this but every morning I must battle my mental health to get out of bed. Only reason I’ll get out is because I have to go to work. In the days I don’t work I’ll just lay in bed until my bladder is on the brink of exploding and only then get up to piss. I don’t know how people find the energy to go to protests or do something with their lives. I only work, and I only work because I need money.
Look, I'm not where you are. I've been there, and I'm not going to talk down to you about it from the other side. I'm not going to pretend to know just what you're going through, and I'm definitely not going to tell you to just get over it. What you're feeling is real and legitimate. What I can say is that the way that you feel, as real as it is, is not a fixed, permanent thing. You haven't always felt this way, and you won't always feel this way. Everything is temporary.
