This is a Breakfast Club style fairy tale attempting to romanticize mental disorders. Most of these people wouldn't have even have contact with each other if they were in the same clinic. They certainly wouldn't be hanging out telling jokes, giving each other hugs. People with legitimate physiological issues don't find them romantic or profound - they're struggling with them. This self-diagnosed bullshit everyone keeps throwing around on here needs to stop.
I agree with you 95%
I think that people who have overcome their disorders are the ones who best empathize because they've been through something and know what it's like. If you're in the middle of it, I can't see you doing much of anything besides sitting on the toilet and crying.
Fake or not, though yeah probably fake, I don't really think this is romanticizing anything. No one is saying these people are better or cute or funny /because/ they have these problems, that they're good things to have. It's just saying that what they're going through is not all they are, that there's more to people than the bad things like this. Just the way I see it, anyway.

Also, most of the time people who are hospitalized for mental health reasons DO see each other. Isolation is not good for mental health. So hanging out, telling jokes and giving hugs, 100% does happen. Males and females usually aren't allowed in each others bedrooms, so the girl telling the boy stories is probably unrealistic. But most of these actually could happen.
The following is a real experience I had recently as I work with people who have mental disorders full time.
A man I work with has depression, an explosive anger disorder, and schizophrenia. Yesterday he spent 20 min on the phone gentley telling his girlfriend not to cry and reassuring her that he would come visit because she was upset about him moving. He is scared as hell about moving. He told his guardian on the phone he didn't want to move because he is scared. But while he was on the phone will her, he was strong for her sake.
Every time my depression gets the best of me and I can't get up my mom threatens to send me to a mental hospital

It was hard for my mom to learn to live with my dad and I. We both suffer with depression. The best thing you can do is talk, and help the ones around you understand what is going on in your head. It's not your fault, it's a neurological problem. Sending you to a mental hospital might be your mom's way of coping, thinking she is trying to help. Being educated and involved is the best way to help yourself and those around you.
I love it everytime and I'll always upvote our
