Those who suffer or are in some kind of pain, would give anything to not feel the way they are feeling.People who are sick, or depressed, hide their pain. We really don't want attention for the things we go through, we only want to express ourselves. Not so that people will notice us, so that people will learn from our stories. It is a special kind of person that can express their fears, dreams, and pain through a song, a poem, a sketch, or a story. I highly respect the people who can turn their pain into art.
Those who don't really suffer, and have never experienced being sick (whether its mental or physical) or have never been truly depressed, for some reason, think being in pain sounds cool or romantic. They promote their so-called pain and seek out attention for it. (promoting means you intentionally post triggering photos and messages of being sad and hating yourself. I am not sure what the point of it is, but I know people who promote pain are not trying to help themselves or anyone else...they want to be noticed, plain and simple, even if its from being negative or unbalanced) Depression is romanticized, there is no doubt about that. There is a major difference between self expression and self hatred.
People who have truly gone through something heavy like depression or mental illness, express themselves and share their pain, through being creative...attention is not the goal, self expression is....We don't feel like we have to share our experience, we choose to, we enjoy words, we enjoy the beauty of creativity, the sounds of hearts and minds being poured out onto a piece of paper or a computer screen or a canvas. People who promote self hatred, want to actually have depression or mental disorders, because they are most likely wanting attention, are really bored, or think being happy and normal is boring..That is just plain wrong. If you are depressed, get help. If you are not depressed, don't make it look beautiful, because its not
