#852 So I know this campus is supposed to be a space where people understand the stigma surrounding mental illness and as such are supposed to be understanding of mental illness, but I have the sense that if I were to tell anyone that I'm suffering from the illnesses I am, no one would really understand what that means unless they've been through it themselves. I mean who really understands what it means to have depression or anxiety unless they've experienced themselves? Who really understands what its like to have an eating disorder unless they've had one. I feel like in trying to explain how it effects me I would end up sounding lazy and stupid and overly obsessed with how I look. Everyone just says, go talk to someone about it, but when no one gets it, how are you supposed to feel comfortable being open. So instead, I just keep my mouth shut and let it eat away at me day by day.
#851 I've been crushing on this girl for more than a year now and I want to ask them out, but they may be in a relationship already. I wonder if I should wait or give up.
#850 My room is too cold. I think its time to turn the heat on.
#849 I judge people who judge people on their music taste.
#848 I hate being sick at college. I hate the fact that I will probably never live at home again for more than 5 weeks at at time. I hate taking care of myself.
#847 I think we should stop saying he/she in papers because it's offensive to non-binary people. We should at least be saying he/she/they/ze/zhe/xe/ve/tey/sie.
#846 I am a National Socialist and proud. No, I am not trolling. No, I do not think any races are inferior to me. Most people do not truly know what NS is all about.
#845 I kinda liked Quantum of Solace.... I'm so sorry
