Like a bird, you needed to be pushed out of your nest to see that you can fly.
It's a shame that you had so much excess wealth that you could have servants making and delivering food while you laze around in bed all day.
If you didn't have that excess wealth to fall back on, then you'd be forced to participate in society like everyone else and see that the problems you thought were really just in your head.
News flash, buddy, the vast majority of people with depression still have to get up and go to work.
Idk what you're on about. Why do you think I have excess wealth? I grew up homeless and have worked hard for everything I have. I hold down a job, the times Im suffering so badly I can't get out of bed are few and far between but they do happen. And in those low desperate moment sometimes I'll order uber eats, fuck me right?
You're right the vast majority of people with depression still have to go to work, and that includes me.
Depression is a mental disorder, of course it's in my head. Do you think depression occurs in the lungs??
There is so much toxicity in this it's hard to know where to start
First of all, all disabilities are a spectrum, they effect people with different severities. One person might be 'functional' with depression, another literally not.
Some people with chronic pain, physical vulnerabilities and weaknesses etc can still work, other are bedbound.
Do you think that bedbound disabled people just 'laze around' all day?
Are you really so goddamn privileged and dense that you think disabilities are 'all in [people's] head? Or is it just mental disabilities?
Or are you like, doing the 1950s thing of 'depression isn't real just cheer up'?
And this excess wealth bullshit? Are you advocating for a system that leaves people to starve if they can't work? Is disability welfare a bad thing to you?
Never mind that there's a huge issue with disabled people having higher expenses because of relying on deliveries etc. Fuck them, right?
You've basically replied to a bedbound disabled person to tell them that theyre just a lazy privileged rich slob who's making it all up, and I think that's fucked
