Controversial rant incoming:
I am fed up with people going 'I can't see this band, my life sucks' Or saying that they want to die etc. I'm trying not to be judgmental but when it's in full view of everyone on Facebook, you tend to get a little suspicious. Being like that is not fun, it's not something you want to advertise. Being diagnosed 'mental' is not fun. I want to sit down with them and explain what being suicidal is really like, or how having anxiety stops you from doing so much. Talk them through things like hey I can't wear shorts at all unless I have tights because I didn't like myself, or being told by a manager to keep my sleeves down. Talk about the lengths I go to just to hide all this crap that happens, how I feel because society can't accept me. I accept that they may feel like they do but there are better methods than Facebook, it's called a doctor. If you can tell the internet publicly like that I don't see how you can't go to a doctor.
Christ, most of them are still in school, they can still do something with their life. This is one of two rants/admittance to the fact that I have problems, I usually tell people the superficial ones and leave the big ones to be dealt with privately but every now and then I just have to rant about it. It's not fair that they can do stuff like that, if I was to do it I would get nothing like they do. I am big enough and old enough now. Which leads me onto my second rant about mental health services. When you are under 18 there is a whole world of mental health services available, as soon as you turn 18 the adult services take over. I can happily say that at the age of 22 the adult services don't help, I've been turned away because I'm not 'old' enough to feel this way. They are judgmental of the young side of 'adults'. I'm fed up of it, there is not much support for young adults in my area and I feel intimidated to get help sometimes because I will just be told, it's a phase. Yes it's completely a phase when it's been like this since I was 7. Something needs to be sorted.
