It’s a strange time to have a mental illness. I don’t think it’ll come as a surprise to anyone, particularly with the coming release of On Getting Out of Bed, that I “struggle” with my mental “health.” I use scarequotes because I’m not entirely sure what we talk about when we talk about mental health and our struggles. And part of that confusion comes from the malforming effects of social media.
