I wish depression were an emergency. I wish someone could take one look at how sick I am and go “oh my god, we need to get you to a hospital!” and then when we get there I get rushed into surgery and the surgeons say “it’s a good thing you brought her here when you did, this is a seriously advanced case” and then they put me under and spend the next ten hours pulling metres of long, sticky black strands of gunk out of my body, throwing it immediately into an incinerator so that it can’t infect anyone else. And then they could stitch me back up and I could rest a few days, and when I leave the hospital everyone can see how much better I am and they congratulate me saying “well done, you’ve been so brave, I’m so glad you’re ok. I love you.”

the worst part of summer is that people get sooo comfortable expressing their disgust at having to see other people’s bodies. they’re always complaining about wrinkly old men at the nude hot springs or fat women in bikinis at the beach. I hate that shit. if you’re not capable of being normal about bodies you personally don’t find attractive, just turn your head to look at something else! and if you’re not smart enough to do that, then at least do the rest of us the courtesy of suffering in silence, because we don’t wanna hear your weird comments. thanks.

Its not that I'm unable to pick up on when someone is flirting but rather than my self esteem is so low that the idea of me having misinterpreted it is more believable than the idea of someone flirting with me.

Anyone else remember standing in the grocery line and seeing these as a kid

Tw: body shaming, fatphobia, ED trigger, body images

"They dont write books on parenting."

Yes they do. They did going back to 1949 at the very least. You're just making excuses because you didnt actually think about what your kids would experience but rather that you crossed it off your white picket fence bucket list.

When my life flashes before my eyes, how many seconds before death will I be subjected to your abuse?

Reminder to all my chronically ill or in pain baddies!

Walking uphill in platform heels is going to take longer than in sneakers. Its okay to be at a different pace than everyone else. People will celebrate the effort eventually and if they dont then I will.

Im proud of you. I can see how hard you work. I can see how difficult it is and I'm amazed, proud, and happy that youre still here. You are not a burden. Why? Because your value is not based on your contributions to the machine and your value doesnt change the moment you cant get out of bed or brush your teeth. Your value is inherent.

You were a child. You didnt deserve it. You didnt "earn it". There is no amount of rudeness, sexuality, defiance, disobedience, laziness, ungratefulness, or sass that justifies an adult screaming at or hurting a child or raping a child. It was their responsibility as a parent, a guardian, or caretaker to take care of you.

You didnt deserve it. You never deserved it. You never will deserve it.

Are you actually super nice and patient or did you grow up in a household/environment where negative emotions of any kind were criminalised?

[armchair-lethroe]

How is it so hard for parents to understand that DECIDING to have a kid signs you up all of the sacrifices you have to make. You should EXPECT the bare minimum to not be enough. You shouldn't blame your kids for the struggles that YOU SIGNED UP FOR

(With acceptions to SA and all that)

"Never being told no" is a type of emotional neglect

[armchair-lethroe]

Being shut down, interrupted, talked over, and having your points ignored can make you have verbal shutdowns as well as dissociative shutdowns where your audio processing is slowed or even listening comprehension being impared

[armchair-lethroe]

When you have been invalidated, gaslit, and told you're dramatic your entire life then it is highly possible to have self esteem issues, self validation issues, a lack of identity, have a hard time making big decisions, and you may easily go to a faun response when shut down. It may even be easy for you to doubt your own memories or let others speak over your experiences.

Fun fact:

Its a privilege to be in your child's life whether they are a minor or an adult

Your child doesnt owe you gratitude for the absolute bare minimum (food, shelter, kindness, not abusing them, etc)

[armchair-lethroe]

The moment your parent decided they wanted kids, they took the responsibility for every mistake they made that effected you positively or negatively.

You do not owe someone forgiveness when they decided to take responsibility for you for 18+ years.

Realising my dad used to chase me and spank me . It was so bad I wouldnt be able to sit sometimes and that i ended up running and sitting in a corner and begging for him not to hit me.

But no yeah kids understand corporal punishment, im sure
