      if you think you can be “hopped up” on anti-depressants, you have literally no idea how they work.https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1157704107425185793 …

      Suicide rates for US teens and young adults are the highest on record, and the country is more hopped up on anti-depressant medication than ever before. And Marianne Williamson is supposed to be the crazy one? https://www.latimes.com/science/la-sci-suicide-rates-rising-teens-young-adults-20190618-story.html …

      yes i know the figure of speech & it refers to uppers. that’s not how anti-depressants work & the fact that people think it is is one of the problems w this shitty rhetoric which shames people who need medication & persuades then there is something wrong with taking it.

      apparently not bc here is the literal definition for what you wrote. if you’re going to insist gun violence is a mental health issue, not a gun issue then at least stop shaming people who need medication to survive by equating their meds to narcotics. it’s irresponsible & wrong.pic.twitter.com/oC5lGoACRV

      You just acknowledged that it was a figure of speech, and then provided a literal definition, which makes no sense. And I didn't shame anyone individually. Talking about the wider, society-wide impact of anti-depressants is a different matter

      if you’re going to pretend to be a writer then you’re going to have to at least acknowledge that figures of speech still have actual meanings.

      I think most writers are aware that figures of speech are expressly non-literal phrases used for rhetorical effect, but thanks
