I apologize again for writing so much. Things are slow, because I'm just studying for exams not actually going to classes. I'm a thinker, the thoughts run through my head and they will just stay there and spin around and around and around tormenting me forever if I don't get them out.
Seriously, I know people get mad that I just never stop talking but you don't understand its a compulsion I need to shut up my brain and you really don't have to feel obligated to read my nonsense.
A few weeks ago, or maybe it was like a month ago, this girl did a presentation in my class about her anxiety disorder. She was just talking about all the different aspects of this struggle and she said one thing which really stuck out to me. She said she feels a lot of guilt about her anxiety disorder because it's a "first world problem" and "other people have it worse."
I was going to say a lot more, but I think I can leave it at this: guilt makes everything worse.
No one should have to feel guilty about going through a tough time.
No one should have to feel like they are just being dramatic.
Sometimes mountains ARE mole hills but that doesn't mean it's their fault. Some people see mountains when they look at mole hills.
No one should have to feel an obligation to "be strong" which will make them feel like they have to pretend that things aren't wrong when they are.
No one should have to feel guilt when they are going through a hard time, it won't help them recognize that the mountains are mole hills, it won't help them escape their bad ways of dramatic selfishness. If that IS what it is...
