To the ones who don't get it,

We all go through things that others don't get. It's normal. But also very, very annoying. So here's to you guys that don't really get it.

If you don't live with depression or anxiety, you aren't going to get the things the people with it go through. It's all more than being upset and scared to talk in front of the class. There's so much more to it. Don't make fun of me when I panic about a simple thing, such as small quiz or waiting in line at McDonalds. I really can't help it. It's my anxiety. Please understand. I would love to be able to help it and change it so I could go through life normal, but I can't, so please try to accept that.

I'm going to randomly shut down. That's just depression/anxiety. It sucks, but I can't control that part either.

Understand that there are some days I won't be in the mood to do anything and all you can really do it sit with me and be there for me.

I'm also really sensitive. So I need you to get that part down. I know you're joking, but it's hard for me to realize that and not take it so personally or seriously.

Please understand that I'm not crazy. I'm still just like you. Not exactly... but really who in this world is 100 percent the same? I don't think anyone.

I'm different, but there's no good to judge me for it. If you have something to say, please keep it to yourself. It'll do us both good. Just be thankful that you don't feel it and go through it the way I do.

Lastly, I know you don't get it, so please try to bear with me. No matter what. I can't do it all on my own. Just help me and I'll try my absolute best to work on myself while you're here. It's something almost impossible to explain, so i'm not even going to try.

I guess overall, just try and understand that I'm not perfect. I'm different. I get scared more than I should, but it's honestly something I can't change. No matter how hard I try. I'm going to need your help. So thank you.
