# data[].attributes.body
I used to think that it was normal to not want to get out of bed when I was younger. I thought that not eating for three days straight and sleeping all day was just part of growing. I thought my hands trembling when I walked into a room was something everyone felt. I thought not being able to breathe when someone was too close to me was "normal". I thought thinking about ways to disappear was part of being young and dumb. I thought no one would care, so why try and explain? Depression is different for everyone that experiences it. I chose this poem because mental health, especially in our community, is something that gets pushed under the rug far too often. There is nothing wrong with not being okay, even when there is not necessarily anything wrong. You matter. Your feelings matter. Your ideas matter. Speak up.
