Sometimes I wonder

[Concernedgal]

You watch television. You see all if these products depicted for minor inconveniences in life. It kinda pisses me off how vain and stupid all of it is. Live like we do. Live with the constant worry and mental torture like we do. I'll take the acne and headaches and even the gained weight. I'll take it. But, please take away this mental illness. I remember before my first panic how stupid my worries were. I took the acne medication , and watched my weight and made sure I had the best of the best when it came to cosmetics and perfume. I can't believe how stupid I used to be. Now that I have anxiety and depression and panic attacks. .. now I know what real worry is .

And there is nothing promoted for the likes of us. Nothing promoted for those of us who suffer from anxiety, depression or other mental illnesses. I can be sitting here at the PC, right as rain, not a care in the world, then all of a sudden I start to feel sick and scared that something catastrophic is about to happen. God only knows why and what I'm worried about because I haven't got a clue. I'm worrying about nothing in particular.

You so get me. Yesterday was not the perfect day. To put it nicely and I was having panic symptoms when all of a sudden a Comercial for acne medication came on and then all of a sudden it just pissed me off. I'm like really? People in this world worry about this menial bull ****. Really? You mean to tell me that your life is so worry free that you have to find something to worry about? I just don't get it. I wish acne was all I had to worry about.

It's all relative, isn't it? What seems like a small problem to you might be a big one to someone else. You know that there have been teenagers who have committed suicide because they were being teased over a 'silly' thing like acne or weight gain? I know you're dealing with a lot, but I don't think we can judge what others are going through as easy because we've never been in their shoes.
