Why does everyone on tumblr think it’s fashionable to have PTSD, depression, an eating disorder, bipolar disorder, or borderline disorder ?

It’s not fashionable. A lot of people have mental disorders but never talk about it. That’s the problem. People are too afraid to talk about their internal struggles. As a society, it is looked down upon to talk about one’s weaknesses or something that makes them imperfect. So I think the real question is why do people as a whole feel the need to cover up their problems rather that share them. We shouldn’t hate others for who they are. I know that’s unrealistic, but it should be that way. 

Tumblr also gives us a “safe space” to talk about these things, since they are usually considered impolite for everyday conversation.

I’m sorry for having PTSD and depression. I’ll try to be less fashionable for whoever wrote this shitstain tripe.

Why do fucksacks on tumblr think it’s fashionable to pull that “attention noming” tripe on those of us w/ mental illnesses?
