Very good. Love the closing: “mental illness isn’t melancholy or wistful sensitivity or off-beat indie folk sadness. It isn’t frustration, disappointment, confusion, anxiety or sometimes feeling like you can’t cope… Mental illness is visceral, it’s a tripped brain, its bared teeth, it’s being engulfed by hopeless levels of self-hate and fear and aggression”. Mental health awareness just rebrands fleeting, passive noticing into a virtuous act.
