Mental Health HYPOCRISY
Pag celebrity ang nag share ng istorya, it's a "brave revelation." Pag ordinaryo ang nag share ng problema, ang tawag "attention seeker." (nag e-emo lang yan)
We offer headlines and sympathy for the depression of the FAMOUS, but whispers judgment for the sadness of the ordinary.
True mental health advocacy means breaking down this hierarchy of suffering. It means listening to the person serving your coffee with the same empathy you'd offer a star on a magazine cover.
Let's stop making compassion an exclusive club. Mental illness doesn't care about your tax bracket. Struggle is not a privilege reserved for the rich and famous.
If your support for mental health ends where someone's social status begins, then you were never an ally—you were just a fan.
Ang ironic diba? Never nagiging usapin yang mental health tapos bigla boom sa social media kasi sa sikat or anak ng sikat nakita nila may mga pahiwatig na di binigyan pansin. Pero kung sa mga ordinaryo, isang RIP tapos na.
We cry for the celebrity but clown the ordinary person.
We call it "depression" for the rich and famous. For the poor and ordinary, it's often dismissed as drama or weakness.
This hierarchy of pain is the very stigma we claim to be fighting.
If we only validate struggle when it's glamorous or comes from a famous face, we're not supporting mental health. We're just performing wokeness.
Empathy should be universal. Not selective.
SHEEESH
