>>44929806The difference is that I can guarantee you anons here are being sincere. I'm aware that in places like Tumblr and Twitter mental illnesses are nothing but quirky profile decorations, as if the more you have the more "interesting" you are, but you have to realize that just because those people romanticized them it doesn't mean it's the case for everyone. Hell, it's because of those attitudes that the ones that actually suffer from said illnesses get replies like yours here, when I guarantee you they're not lying. This is an anonymous place where nobody is looking for clout or attention, just taking the chance to open up about something that really does affect them.
Now, if you outright think that they don't even exist then that's on you being willfully ignorant.
