    That’s like my mom telling me “What are you depressed for? You have a great life, you have no reason to be sad!”

    That’s what fucking depression is you dumb bitch.

    Only I had every reason to be depressed. Lonely, ADHD, gay kid in rural Texas, in a Christian household that doesn’t believe in therapy or psychiatric medication.
