I wouldn’t bother, they think depression is something you can just send away.
This is such a toxic take, and it further dissuades people from getting help. Shame and judgement are huge internal barriers for many people that prevent those who need care from asking for it, and hearing ignorant and dismissive assessments about our struggles from healthy people only reinforces this problematic inner monologue.
We don’t think less of diabetics for needing insulin. Mental health care is healthcare. If you are struggling, please know you’re not less than anyone for having mental health conditions. Don’t be ashamed, and please pursue any and all care options available to you. There’s also a wonderful community full of understanding people who want to help support you, too!
This is a beautiful comment. Thank you.
Edit to add: Congratulations on doing the hard work and getting to a better place!
