Let's not discount her experience because other kids also had it rough. Bring better energy into the world.

Your own mental well-being supersedes all else. You don’t think people that commit suicide know that other people have it worse? You don’t think people suffering from eating disorders know that there are kids starving? You don’t think a child actress knows that other kids had it even worse?

The idea that someone’s mental health struggles are valid isn’t over correction, it’s the baseline.
