    Bad mental health is a sickness. If people have mental illness they don’t just sit there and deal with it, they go to a doctor to get it fixed or at least under control. I have no qualms in talking a sick day off to get away from it all when I’m overwhelmed. If my employer says otherwise, then fuck them, I’ll find a place to work where they respect that.

      I dont make enough to afford a shrink, But I do get one day a sick leave per month to use when I can’t get out of bed.

      Trust me, I would love to see a head doctor, But this is the best I can do right now

      It doesn’t mean I don’t have mental illness it means i’m doing the best I can with what I got
