Something I notice in society is that we overlook how serious mental illness really is. Mental illnesses are something that people struggle with in society. Mental illnesses are like being in a warped reality, but at the same time there is a cryptic beauty that comes with being mentally ill.
When one is mentally sick,they often see a different type of reality. In a way, it's almost like a painting. There are many colors in a painting. When one is mentally ill, they have many shades in their life.
The Negative: A person may feel like your whole life is crashing down, and they want to fall in a deep hole and cry, and they never want to wake up. Everything is extreme,they feel anxious, and all They see is shades of darkness.
The Positive: They feel like they're are walking on a cloud, they feel amazing, empowered, nothing can stop them at all. they feel like they're walking in a trail of flowers, and everything is magical.
In Between: they feel completely calm.
Mental illnesses are just as serious as physical diseases. It may not feel physical pain in one's eyes, but one will feel so many emotions and so many views of the world. The world seems really scared to accept that mental illnesses are just as serious as a regular, physical diseases. The world needs to give people monthly psychiatric evaluations, or at least someone to talk to.
If the world did things like that, we wouldn't have things such as the airplane incident that just happened in Germany, the Boston Bombing, and Sandy Hook. All of these people had mental illnesses.
Mental illnesses are not the only problem. In this world, learning disabilities and autism spectrum disorders are also overlooked. Just because one individual is slow, it doesn't mean they are incompetent. They have a bit of a harder time processing than others because of a few brain defects. They're just average people like all of us. Unfortunately, there are many people that don't have the patience to tolerate their defects.
If there is anybody that is reading this that has any mental disorder, autistic disorder, or learning disability, I just want to say you are so strong inside and beautiful. Life is really hard if one individual has anything in these categories. Continue staying strong and keep living life the best you can.
