"It's Okay to Cry" - No it's Not!
I am so sick of it.
All the time now on Facebook or social media in general there's another post telling me that as a man, it's okay for me to cry. Or just a generic post about mental illness because now everybody is a clinical psychologist.
Piers Morgan got criticised because he criticised the idea that there's 34m people in Britain with mental illness. Fact is, even if there is, you shouldn't be encouraged to feel sorry for yourself or to cry over it. You should be encouraged to snap out of it and get on with life because it doesn't help people who are down to pander to them or to pretend their often overall meaningless problems are the problems of the world. They're not. Alright you feel bad about Y. Have a sulk/sleep it off and carry on.
I get down but I snap out of it when I realise that I need to get a grip of myself. And yeah sure you sink into it sometimes but you have to make an effort and carry on. Nobody in r/l knows I get so severely down so often and there's no need to share it or broadcast to the world. I get down, I get back up. Simple as. That's life. Not everyday is a great day.
I know i'm going to be slammed as being heartless yada yada right now but go ahead. Felt like throwing that grenade.
