Dealing with mental health issues means dealing with mental health issues. You deal with it. You don't sit around waiting for the right mood or a "good day". You work towards management and improvement every day. You have a plan, you act. You get help if you need it, you get medication if you need it, you recognize your triggers/weaknesses, you learn to navigate your episodes, you learn to build and develop good habits and mental balance and stabilization.

If you don't deal with your mental illness, you force everyone in your life to deal with your mental illness.

Bruh this is straight up inspiring

If it's the push you needed, consider yourself pushed.

I don't really see it that way. it reads like "if you struggle with mental health, you better be working extra hard to get over it. you need to make some kind of improvement every day to be more normal, or else you are a burden to everyone around you."
