She finishes by adding a line that everyone with depression has heard from "well-meaning" people. "Finally, apply liquid lipstick in the shade of Just Smile More," she says. "If you follow these steps, were born with a chemical imbalance and live in a society that deeply stigmatizes mental illness, you too can rock this cool, depressed look."

“Mental health is always talked about in an academic way. I think to be able to talk about it in a way that’s funny and relatable helps more people feel not alone,” she said.

“There are always people out there who know what you’re going through,” she said.
