If you live with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or another chronic mental health condition, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is trying to be normal.
Normal does not equal healthy.
When your brain is prone to going rogue, you cannot afford the same habits most people can. What works for them may quietly destroy you.
Society is not built to protect your mental health. And you cannot fix a mood disorder by acting like you don’t have one.
If you have substantial mental health needs, you need sustainable systems — not quick fixes.
This comes from experience. I tried to live “normally.” It did not go well.
