The thing I hate most about depression is that it tricks you into thinking you don’t have depression. It makes you think that nothing is wrong with you, that you just feel this way because you lack value as a person. Whether that’s in your relationships, your academics, or a view of yourself, it makes you think you aren’t good enough for any of that.

“It’s not the illness,” it says, “You feel this way because it’s who you are.”

“Mental illness is like fighting a war where the enemy’s strategy is to convince you that the war isn’t actually happening.”

Me: I can’t get out of bed today, what is wrong with me. I’m so lazy and terrible and I am a huge flake and there has got to be something wrong with me.

My brain: There is no war in Ba Sing Se.

I feel like it’s really easy to lean towards categorising Sophie as the mom friend but like, no. no Sophie is the Cool aunt who’s always slightly tipsy and whisks you away for impromptu shopping trips and lets you drink but Eliot, Eliot is the mom friend.

#this is absolutely correct#likewise Nate is not the dad #he’s just Sophie’s weird drunk boyfriend #the dad is the one who makes terrible jokes #and takes you on trips saying IT’LL BE FUN#and then instead you end up covered in bugs #the dad is the one who gives you candy when you’re sad #and insists that Santa Claus is real #it’s Parker #Parker is the dad (wintersoldierfell)
