So health class today was extremely triggering.

We're in our mental health unit, and we started talking about mental illnesses. Before the teacher started the presentation, she asked the class our thoughts on mental illnesses and people that have mental illnesses, and what someone said triggered me so much.

Like, they straight up said, "They [people with mental illnesses] are mentally stupid."

And I just... I was so, I don't even know how to describe it. Like, I was mad and upset at them for saying that, and I seriously wanted to say, "B*tch, what?" And I was just so... so angry at them and all the stigmas and stereotypes of mental illnesses.

And then we were talking about various anxiety disorders, and the teacher was explaining panic attacks and she said that panic attacks and anxiety attacks are the same things. And I was so tempted to just raise my hand and be like, "Um, no, that's wrong. Panic attacks and anxiety attacks are different, as there are different causes for them. Panic attacks are triggered by a phobia or could come out of the blue, while anxiety attacks are caused by worrying and being anxious about something. They are clearly different things!"

And I just... that frustrated me so much, and I hated the entirety of that class.
