This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's a generational thing. Your dad's generation didn't talk about mental health, so there was no such thing as mental health. If you had serious depression, you were just weak and grumpy. All you could do about depression was soldier through it. Now we talk about it and it's more accepted. Now we actually try to tackle the problems of mental health instead of tucking it away.
That sounds like soldiering through it with extra steps.
And proffesional guidance, tools, medication, support and understanding from your environment and and you can recognition so you can use the social safety nets your country provides.
