entry arrow7:02 PM | You Look Fine

Dealing with mental health issues is a struggle with invisible scars. It is certainly a disability, just not an obvious one. The broken thing is in our brain, and while it has physical manifestations, one can hide it well with practice. So one thing that feels defeating every single time is when someone comes up to me to say, “But you look fine.” What did you expect? That I’d be like a disheveled Sisa crying, “Crispin, Basilio!”? That I’d be glassy-eyed and drooling? To be honest, I still have no clue how to respond to these people. Most of the time, I just walk away.
