“Telling someone that they can help their mental illness is the same as telling someone they can help the fact that they have cancer. Think about it.”

— -random soul

You can. Help your mental illness. I’m not gonna say you can absolutely 100% surely get rid of it, obviously that depends a lot on WHAT sort of illness you’re dealing with because “mental illness” is a pretty damn vast thing, but thinking that it’s fully out of your control is a pretty damaging attitude to have.

And I’d say the same with cancer too to a degree, although I do think it is much more out of your control than most mental illnesses, but you CAN HELP YOURSELF with certain ways of living, shocker.

And if you get diagnosed of cancer while it’s still in it’s early stages, you can stop it from spreading and getting worse, right?

DON’T ever ignore the first signs, or that shit will kill you! If the symptoms start to show, go see a doctor ASAP. Doesn’t matter if it seems insignificant to you because it’s definitely not.
