Mental Health Was Never Just Personal

They want us to believe that mental health is a personal issue. That depression, anxiety, trauma, burnout are chemical glitches we carry alone. But the truth is: It’s not just you. It’s the system. It’s the pressure. It’s the impossible cost of survival. We are overwhelmed because the world we live in is overwhelming. We’re dissociating because everything around tells us to be quiet, be productive, be numb. We’re exhausted because this society feeds off our collapse and calls it normal. They hand us diagnoses to give it a name then shame us for having it. They prescribe pills without asking why we’re in pain. They call us “unstable” when we refuse to keep pretending we’re fine. And when someone’s brain works differently when they’re neurodivergent, autistic, nonlinear They’re treated like a glitch in the matrix. Not a signal. Not a gift. Not a whole person. Just something to “manage” or “fix".” They say things like “Vaccines cause autism” as if being autistic is a fate worse than death. It’s Not. Autistic people, ADHD people, emotionally intense people, see things society wants to ignore. They sense systems, patterns, falseness. They feel everything deeper and that makes them dangerous. Because when you start to see the see crack, you stop pretending the structure is sound. This post isn’t anti-diagnosis. It’s anti-stigma. It’s anti-isolation. It’s a reminder that you are not broken this world just refuses to bend for anything outside of it’s control. Let’s stop treating sensitivity like failure. Let’s stop treating neurodivergence like a flaw. Let’s stop pretending that healing means becoming more “normal.” You don’t have to fix yourself to be valid. You don’t have to shrink to be included. Your mind is not a problem. It’s a different kind of intelligence. And it was never meant to be silent.
