    Mental health issues have many different expressions. Just because you’re maintaining appearances doesn’t mean you can’t suffer considerably.

    But yeah, people are definitely romanticizing certain expressions of mental illness.

    Some people fall in love with depressed people or otherwise mentally ill people. Often that’s because they are available, in need, and vulnerable.

    A depressed person is usually lonely. If you start a romance with them, they will give you all the attention you want. They will become dependent on you emotionally.

    Mentally ill people are prime victim material for narcissists.

    How is that pot staying up? One hand on the side, not even holding a handle.
    There’s something else going on and I suspect it’s below the bottom of the image

    As someone with depression this is perhaps the worst way you could possibly treat me, I would genuenly rather someone tell me to go fuck myself with a rusty pipe than this

      Would you mind to elaborate that? I am genuinely curious and want to learn. I am not quite sure what you are referring to - being looked at with admiration or being talked about in a derogative way (the teeth comment)? I can’t really wrap my head around and it seems like I am missing something.
