"Mental illness is a nightmare. It often brings some friends with it, like drug addiction, alcoholism, fatigue, headaches, improper coping techniques, etc. I totally understand that, and no one should be ashamed of themselves for having any of those afflictions. I wasn't there, but I'm pretty sure none of you signed up for any of that. I didn't.

If you have an issue like that, AND HAVE MEANS TO GET HELP, but choose not to do anything, you're a dick. As difficult as it is to get out of our own heads sometimes, our problems are not ours alone. There's always someone, somewhere, who really does give a crap. When our problems spiral out of control due to lack of proper maintenance, we take people with us. Every person who cares about us is forced to watch us fall apart, or become someone we don't want to be, or even worse die. I know there are times when we don't think we deserve the help. I get that. We're wrong, but it's not going to stop us from thinking that way. Unfortunately, none of that changes the fact that those who care about us DO deserve us getting help. I know friends and family, good people, watching someone they love being completely destroyed while refusing to get help that is within their reach. Those friends and family deserve better.

I know every situation is different, and everyone has their own set of opportunities. A lot of stuff gets in the way, but there's some sort of assistance for almost everyone. It may not always be the best help, but it's better than nothing. Everyone can find at least one person to talk to somewhere, even if it's me. I haven't really had any addiction problems, but I've been struggling with serious mental illness for over 30 years. I understand that stuff.

Life is hard. please take care of yourselves, and each other."
