I'm a ginger girl whose life revolves around south park, musicals, and hating school.

if i was a different person with a different personality and a different life things would be kinda different i think

i think more mental health and neurodivergence advice needs to account for the fact that when/if it doesn't work, it often feels worse than if you hadn't even tried. like. it feels like a lot of it implicitly assumes infinite mental stamina to just keep trying, which is just Not True, and also kind of ignores or forgets about the mental impact and further draining of internal resources that comes with failures, or like, doing something for months/years and feeling like it barely does anything. or has reached a point where all it does is (questionably) keep you from getting "worse" (by whose definition? by which metrics?), and has become completely ineffectual for improvement. like for instance, the last time i was in therapy the therapist did not even consider like, idk, trying to comfort me and get to the bottom of my procrastination and avoidance whenever i failed to do "homework", it was repeatedly just boiled down to like "idk you just need to try harder or else you won't make any progress because i've decided this is the best way to do that, despite your struggles with it showing a lot of evidence to the contrary" or like how the last time i had a job, there were multiple tasks that just Stopped getting easier and still came with an inherent base load of discomfort even after dozens or hundreds of repetitions. which just makes you feel kind of resentful and lied to after everyone keeps pushing the narrative that all you need to do is "keep trying" because like. bluntly. it's NOT TRUE.

"mothers day" this "fathers day" that

how about a childrens day. how about we have a day where we acknowledge the fact that minors are treated like the property of their parents and lack rights. how about a day where we acknowledge they're an oppressed group too

im sick of everything being centered on parents

"The middle class is not our enemy" yeah and the people you need to be convincing of that is the fucking middle class.

[prettycottonmouthlamia]

Sorry I fucking hate these condescending ass posts. How dare the poor get uppity at people. Meanwhile half of the middle class is voting to eradicate homeless people off the streets.

[prettycottonmouthlamia]

They're okaying means testing because of racism and are fine with anti-homeless architecture because homeless people are dirty and scary and want candidates who are "tough on crime" I really do mean it. The people you need to convince of that are the middle class.

"public schooling in america is by and large not designed for ideal learning and has a lot of fucked up incentives and structures that encourage mistreatment of children" ✅

"it would be preferable to have no structure or standardization and just go by vibes" ❌

"education itself is the problem, knowledge is fake, math and writing are unimportant, and ignorance is wisdom" ❌❌❌

[stripedroseandsketchpads]

“homeschooling and private schooling is the solution to these problems”❌❌❌❌

Are they really just "anti-recovery" or is the treatment not actually helping? Are they really just "anti-recovery" or are they simply acknowledging that the treatment is making them worse? Are they really just "anti-recovery" or are they objecting to being harmed and abused in the name of treatment?

[sickness-stricken]

Y'all ever think about how fucked up it is that you can be prescribed things like anti-depressants or anti-psychotics that can make your life infinitely worse upon taking them and the person that prescribed it is just like "Oh. Oopsie 🥰 Let's try another one"

Keep in mind, it's perfectly acceptable to mock stoners who say "Nah man, you just gotta try a different strain bro just trust" and write off what they're saying as quackery, but telling therapist bootlickers about the terrible experience you had on a specific medication is 9 times out of 10 met with "Well you should just try a different one :)"

Okay, then what happens? The same healthcare professional that prescribed me the first med is gonna do the exact same process again with another med with almost identical effects because they have it in their head what I'm like and what I need. They want me to keep nodding along to whatever brain fog shit they decide to put me on next because it looks good on their stupid fucking papers while they laugh at their new favourite test rat.

I'm so tired.

all “getting better” did was make me feel worse

“Omg I can’t believe you could be so anti recovery 🥺” and it’s just someone with a diagnosis making the choice to not take medication

The "just go to therapy" crowd when a bitch is mentally ill because of cross-generational material circumstances such as poverty that cannot be changed by the individual or talk therapy instead of having life altering ephianies about their unresolved feelings of loss for Mr. Ed after their mom took the family horse in the divorce. Some of us have real problems professionals can't do dick about through therapy other than "wow that sounds bad, have you tried writing down your feelings? That might change how you feel about the ongoing ethnic cleansings."

the purpose of friends is to have people who unconditionally hate your shitty exes & relatives. like maybe YOU have a complex relationship with your father but i sure don't. i'm outside his house with a gun. he's not the unforgivable asshole who raised me he's just an unforgivable asshole
