This sort of thread is just kind of frustrating to read. I'm not diminishing anyone's struggles or suggesting that they're not going through difficult times - the thing I find frustrating is how we talk about "mental health" as this big catch-all for non-physical struggles. The conflation of those struggles with real mental illnesses is just... I mean, Rubecube's 1-2 is just a whole different thing from some of the other stuff expressed in here, and I really wish we had different language to talk about these very distinct situations people can be in.
