sadposting and mental illness

[a-shadowoftheday]

☄️ let's be friends ☄️

Hi! Welcome to the little corner I keep to be sad in. This is a SIDEBLOG so I can't follow you or like your posts, but please send me messages and asks! :3

Call me whatever you like, pronouns xe/it or anything really

TW DISCUSSION OF SH AND SUICIDE

I don't post pictures; I do post a lot of mentally ill venting. I'm also trying to get better. Please stay away if my posts bother you and/or do ask for additional TWs if you want them!

I'm a young adult, auDHD, trans (obviously), and when I'm not busy being eaten alive by mental illness I'm very involved in local leftist activism and I enjoy such things as sci-fi/fantasy media, working outdoors, and playing music (did you recognise the song from my username?)

Ask me about my interests of you think you might have some in common! Ask for advice - I've survived being an (extremely mentally ill) teenager, and I know a lot about medicine and first aid. I'm also here to offer reassurance, friendship, a surrogate older sibling or just someone to vent to <3

I hope this blog can make someone feel a little less alone, even if that someone is just me

eat when you’re hungry,

rest when you’re tired.

you don’t need to “earn it”

[a-shadowoftheday]

I think my body has learned that I'm going to ignore not only normal tiredness cues but also the hardcore ones like "crying", "falling asleep sitting up" and "full-body ache"... so now it's invented exciting new ones like "medical emergency", " fake medical emergency (panic attack)", and "horrific trauma nightmares"

Sucks when your dear friend hurts you badly out of their own pain and mental illness and they apologise for it (mostly) and you forgive them and make up and everything is fine but a year later you're still catching yourself walking on eggshells around them and you're still having nightmares about them hurting you again

This tweet read me to filth

my body knows something that i don’t and i can’t get her to talk to me

[succubusboyfriend]

practicing self care less out of self love and more for the sheer logical reasoning of it’d be kinda stupid of me to expect myself to be able to function without proper maintenance

[succubusboyfriend]

“oh i don’t deserve rest and relaxation, i haven’t done enough, i haven’t earned it” and my car’s breaks don’t deserve break fluid because they aren’t breaking well enough to earn it. that’s what you sound like!!!!!

[boye-failure]

my biggest kink is someone checking in on me n noticing when m not myself

[strawberryfairyflower]

Latching onto every single character who shows any signs of mental illness is my favorite coping mechanism

[boringkate]

It's not too late to suppress all of your wants and desires and to die unfulfilled and afraid without anyone ever having really known you.

hold on let me try to invent a version of myself who can get us out of this mess [holds really still for a minute and a half and then turns to you with a flat affect] we probably should have killed ourselves an hour ago

I'm Thinking of Killing Myself (2026)

Someone needs to tell parents everywhere that a child never complaining is NOT a sign of a mentally healthy child, and it is, in fact, the complete opposite of that.

Sorry I started sobbing uncontrollably when you expressed the slightest concern for my lack of human connection, and casually mentioned you think I deserve better than a life of isolation and loneliness. Super weird. Not sure what was up with that lol. You still think I’m cool and mysterious and sexy, right?

currently listening to music, because killing myself would be wrong
