Imagine the privilege that comes with being mentally stable

After suffering from major OCD/Anxiety/Depression in January, I just started to get it together. Until yesterday after learning that my finals for my last semester in college got cancelled and I wanted to celebrate with my friends. An hour into celebration, suddenly I felt paranoid and anxious that people around me didn't want to be around me and were signaling me to leave. I love my friends and they are supportive of my situation and I also knew what I felt wasn't true. Regardless of that I had to leave, lay in my bed for awhile and then go to sleep. I hate the fact that my mental health stood in the way of celebrating the end of my undergraduate career. I wish I could've been normal and not have to feel the way I feel. Being mentally stable is such a huge privilege people don't realize. Well sorry about the rant but I needed to get it out. Also please inform me if there are some potential triggers in my post so that I can edit it, thank you!

There'll come a time when we can all take off our masks, no longer have to keep physical distance, & go safely to concerts, sporting events, rallies & restaurants – as people in some countries are able to do now because they have no #COVID19 transmission. But we’re not there yet.

If you live with someone who is or was recently pregnant, help protect them by making sure you also take steps to prevent getting and possibly spreading #COVID19. Wear a mask. Stay 6 feet away from others and avoid crowds. Wash your hands frequently: https://t.co/ONijYAs38H. https://t.co/yMKaTw6txF
