Hey guys, so this is different from my usual updates. But because of some recent events that happened in the Mental Health community, I have decided that I needed to address this. Before we get into this, I want to say that I will not be dropping names on here due to privacy reasons, but you can probably guess who I am talking about.

Guys, there are a lot of things you shouldn't do in life, but here is one of the biggest things you should never do. DO. NOT. FAKE. HAVING. A. MENTAL. ILLNESS! There are real people out there who are actually suffering from the thing that you are pretending that you have! Whether it's Depression, Anxiety, Suicidal thoughts, PTSD, whatever the case is, it's wrong!

A few months ago, there was a user that was presumed to be dead. Because of an announcement on their page before it got deleted saying that they committed. A lot of people were shocked and were so hurt by this that some started to harm themselves, and unfortunately, some people took their own lives. A few days ago, there was a message going around that said that someone who "committed" might still be alive. Of course, I was shocked by this, and I tried to find out who it was, but there wasn't anything about it yet.

So, the next day I did some research and found out that someone was indeed alive, after months of people assuming they died. They could've come clean and said that they were still alive before people harmed themselves over them, but they sat back and watched us suffer. As someone who has dealt with Mental Illness myself, this is a big blow to the community, and I'm mad and confused as to why they would do something like this. 

Mental illness is not a joke! There are people out there who fight every day with their inner demons, and they try to tell us negative things and cause a lot of trauma. This is not something to joke about! What went through their mind when they woke up one day and said to themselves, "Oh, I'm going to fake my death!" Huh?

Like I said, no names will be dropped, but you can all assume who I am talking about. I have taken their tribute off this book because I don't want to spread the wrong message and make people believe they are dead when really, they're not.

Please, guys, don't fake your mental illness. It's not funny, and it will never be funny.

With regards,
