Okay, so

So I saw this AskReddit video earlier this morning. It was about things that shouldn't be romanticised.

Self Care.

I'm going to inform the whole one follower I have that hasn't had this information.

It's a long and shitty process. It's not all chocolates and bubble baths. Thats the aftertreatment. If you wanna know good self care techniques, go to an official hospital website, and look, or ask a doctor. "Hey, I'm not feeling the best, I think I have ___" They will test you for symptoms, and you'll be on your way.

Another thing is, medicine. It's not a miracle pill you can take to cure your depression. It will only block SOME of the symptoms. The best thing you can do is just tank through it. Your thoughts might be reduced, but they won't go away.

I have no experience with medicine for mental illnesses, because I didn't want to go through withdrawal. I can't help you there. All I want is for you to know, you can't cure mental illnesses with cutesy stuff. That's to make yourself feel like less of a masochist.
