the world is burning

I'm periodically reminded of just how little most people understand about mental health. It's easy to forget, because to me, it's fundamental. To them, it's abstract. At times, it's easy for me to forget too, just how not abstract it is. Like dropping something and wondering why it falls to the ground, after writing all these posts about gravity.

It's frustrating, because I know we make these judgments about whether a person is positive or negative, strong or weak, handling their shit or falling apart. We make these judgments with so little understanding of what's going on.

It's also frustrating, because I don't see other people taking the dangers they're in seriously. I'm not just worried about myself here, but lately I'm questioning my own sanity more than usual too. I know that I've fallen back into serious clinical depression, and it can be skewing my judgment.

I don't know what to do about any of this.
