I was high-functioning until I wasn’t. Straight As, lots of friends, leadership positions. But I burned out so bad I couldn’t get out of bed. Mental health doesn’t care how successful you look. It just is.


🛠️ How They Cope:

Before, I tired coping, by studying more, thinking about how important grades were. now, I find time, in my day, (especially mornings) to do my skin care! And watching some movies as well!


💭 What They Wish Others Understood:

Being perfect, doesn't mean you don't have flaws. It just means, showing what others want to see.


💌 A Message to Someone Who’s Struggling:

Be what you think is right, now what others think.
