Everyone is a mental health professional until it means actually helping someone.

I hope there comes a day when people stop assuming they understand each other's issues and start listening, really listening, like stfu and listen.

Nobody needs you to fix them.

Nobody needs your unofficial diagnosis and presumptuous solutions.

Stfu and listen, or you're part of the problem.

I really feel this, and I hope you’re doing okay. You’re so right, it really does make a difference when someone simply shows up and hears you without trying to fix everything. Sending you some calm energy, you deserve to be listened to too. 🤍

@mindstruggle it would simplify the whole thing and relieve so much pain for so many people.

I believe it's human nature but a lot of people like thinking of themselves as ahead or somehow more deserving. They don't realize what a privilege it is to believe that. And they really should take their two cents about unique situations and individual trauma and throw it in the trash.

Thank you. I'm okay. Better alone. But always sending love to you and others I care about here.
