    Yes, ofc. I agree with all you said. I only pointed out that “don’t want to” is not the same thing as any of the stuff you mentioned . I don’t want to do lots of things, doesn’t mean I can use mental health as a cop-out. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety all my life, and people misusing “Depression” or “Mental health” or “anxiety” for everyday-stuff is undermining the real struggles people have.

      But gatekeeping mental health is totally okay.

      Just because their issues aren’t as clinical as yours doesn’t mean they’re not also struggling.

        Lmao I’m not gatekeeping. All I’ve said is that not wanting to do something is not the same thing as legitimate anxiety
