Crazy isn’t cute

Something that drives me FUCKING insane is the glamorizing of mental illness all over social media. There’s people that think it’s cute to be out here acting crazy, recording it, posting about it, taking pictures of the aftermath with some stupid ass caption like “crazy runs in the family” or “I can’t help it I’m a Gemini” or “he loves me cuz I’m crazy” or whatever dumb ass “haha” inspiring caption they decide to put with it. There’s nothing funny about being crazy, legitimate mental illness isn’t funny, it isn’t cute, it’s not a personality type, and it’s fully within your control. People posting this kind of stuff either A. Don’t know what actual mental illness is or B. Have never experienced actual consequences as a result of these actions. If you are actually mentally ill I pray you get the help you need and quit pretending that shit is a game. If you are a mentally unwell adult, it’s not cute, you should get help because those actions are toxic and toxicity spreads. If you are doing this dumb shit because its “trending” knock it the fuck off. It’s funny until someone gets hurt. It’s funny until someone hits you back. It’s funny until you end up in jail. It’s funny until you’re locked in behavioral health. It’s funny until it starts impacting your relationships. It’s funny until your kids pick up on it. It’s funny until you realize there’s real consequences. It’s not cute to beat on your significant other. It’s not cute to start fights with strangers. It’s not cute to destroy people’s property, clothes, cars, etc. It’s not cute to yell and scream at people. It’s not cute to endanger yourself or others. Anything you do or say on social media is being seen by so many people; some of those people are vulnerable, some of them are impressionable. Be careful what you choose to put out there because the world is watching and if you’re going to make a difference in someone’s life make it be a positive one. Take care of yourself, mental health isn’t a joke, being crazy isn’t cute.
