HowIFightDepression sparks mixed reactions on Twitter
A new Twitter trend aims to address the struggles of depression head-on by sparking candid conversations about mental illness and suggesting self-care strategies for confronting it. The hashtag #HowIFightDepression made waves on the social media platform Wednesday, and while some embraced the opportunity to share their experiences, others dismissed it as a superficial take on a deeply serious matter.
Users of the hashtag initially aimed to bring awareness to the realities of depression, and discuss strategies for positive change. Users shared experiences like watching their favorite YouTubers, or altering their daily routines to make room for a bit of light.EyesWideOpen/Getty But some users seemed put off by the hashtag, resenting the implication depression could be fixed with a little bit of fluff-filled routine. Others objected to the notion that they"fight depression," because it's something they just have to deal with. They claimed simple, in-the-moment solutions like watching a video or listening to a song just don't help.
Despite the sporadic backlash and varying interpretations of the tag, most users pushed on with bright ideas to bring light into challenging circumstances. Many of the suggestions emphasized the value of leaning into one's creative side. I laugh, I smile, I take photographs, I make music & films, I spend time with friends & family, I check in with people, I talk, I donât bottle it up.Stay strong everyone!
