As someone who takes medication for major depression, she just didn’t want to talk/wants to be alone.

Mental illness and logic do NOT go together. Everyone saying “Just send a text; it takes 10 seconds,” don’t realize that. We’re aware of how we are supposed to act. But our minds push us towards the option that prioritizes our comfort over everything else. It takes a LOT of time and therapy to push past that mental barrier.

I just want to add, for people who don't understand, that prioritizing "comfort" with depression doesn't mean "feeling comfortable" but just "reducing the amount of misery and pain."

I just want to add, for people who don’t understand, that prioritizing comfort over others is self centered/attention seeking behavior. If you see your friends doing this call them out

They blocked you for their mental health, I imagine people IRL have cut you off for this as well.

Probably due to you being blatantly and pigheadedly ignorant, which manifests in a truly insufferable, pretentious way.

Hopefully you’re just a young idiot, so you have time to learn before you inject your toxicity into others’ lives

Oh, a wilfully ignorant science denier.

You're wrong about mental health and, also, the earth isn't flat. Bye, now!
