I used to think i was introverted bc I really liked being alone but it turns out I just like being at peace & I am very extroverted when I’m around people who bring me peace

For you, coming out of an abusive situation:

You are not a liar.

You are worthy of taking care of yourself.

If you don’t know something, that’s okay. You can learn.

You can be independent. You don’t need to have someone over your shoulder.

If your belief system changes, it does not make you a hypocrite.

Taking care of yourself is not selfish.

You are not a disappointment for not holding yourself to their expectations.

It’s okay for you to be yourself, even if you don’t know who that is.

please prioritize your own health and happiness even when it is inconvenient for others

o jūs žinot tą lietuviškos vasaros jausmą?

kai brendant iš jūros šlapias pėdas aplimpa karštas smėlis, kiek vėliau jis pradžiūna ir tada pirštais lengvai nubraukiam jį nuo kojų.

kai nemiegam iki paryčių, o tada ryte, kai taip smarkiai trokštam išsimiegoti..tavo kaimynai pjauna žolę.

kai nebereikia įrankių ir ryžius su šašlykais kemšam pilnomis rankomis.

kai po karščių girdim griaustinį, vėjas laužo medžius, o mes saugiai tupim namuose ir žvelgiam pro langą stebėdamiesi tamsiai pilka ar violetine dangaus spalva. ir dar skaičiuojam kiek sekundžių po žaibo pralekia.

kai sutraiškom uodą ant kojos šiam įkandus ir išsitepam patys savo krauju, o tada tai palydi lietuviams toks pažįstamas “fūj”.

kai tampam ruoniais savo močiutės gimtojo kaimo ežere ir mirkstam nuo ryto iki vakaro.

kai pamirštam kelintą ledų porciją ištirpdėm gerklėj, o naktimis neužmiegi, nes net paklodė per karšta. bet lango nedarysim, uodų priskris.

kai po visos dienos oras pagaliau atvėsta ir mums tampa lengviau gyventi.

ir kai skaičiuojam dienas..kiek dar laimingi galėsim būt, kol ruduo pasibels?

aš taip prisimenu vasarą Lietuvoje. dabar jos kitokios, ne ten, ne gimtuose namuose.

vis dar nuostabios, tiesa. tik..kitokios. nelietuviškos. o kartais taip pasiilgsti lietuviškų dalykų. kodėl? nes tai tavo. jų atimti niekas negali. nesvarbu, kad gyvenu kitur.

vis dar pasiilgstu lietuviškų vasarų.

HI IT’S MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT:

SCHIZOPHRENIA-SPECTRUM DISORDERS ARE NOT SHAMEFUL

BIPOLAR DISORDER IS NOT SHAMEFUL

DEPRESSION IS NOT SHAMEFUL

BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER IS NOT SHAMEFUL

TRICHOTILLOMANIA IS NOT SHAMEFUL

ANXIETY IS NOT SHAMEFUL

PTSD IS NOT SHAMEFUL

[depresyja]

Is narcissistic personality disorder shameful? Is antisocial personality disorder shameful? Is munchausen by proxy shameful? Where is the line?

[snreads]

Not sure if this is to imply that you think there should be a line or if you are implying that you want these other disorders to be mention as not shameful as well…? 

If the former: People are agreeing that other people should not feel ashamed to have disorders that they can’t help having, so I guess keep the line drawing away from people making an acceptance post? 

If the latter: There are millions of things that people shouldn’t be ashamed to have but, unfotunately, Kin could not possibly name them all on their own. So perhaps try adding onto the post rather than questioning it?  

I’m not entirely sure but whatever, we all know I am all for advocating for research, learning, and acceptance (especially in regards to deviance and disorders), so pretty please remember to be empathetic and understanding when you are hearing about or researching different things.

[pinetreestudies-deactivated2020]

@depresyja those things, i would say, are not shameful either, as they’re things one cannot help. i made this post specifically because i have been diagnosed with each thing on the list, and i wanted to make myself personally feel better, as i have been ashamed of them for so long. i never meant to exclude other illnesses and disorders, and people have happily added on to the post things they thought belonged. and if that’s what you were doing, i appreciate it! but i was kind of confused at your motive of adding your comment. i couldn’t tell if you were trying to add these, or if you were trying to invalidate all of these disorders. if it was the former, great! i’m glad to include these on the list. but if you were trying to bring negativity on a post meant to bring light to mental disorders, then :( i’m sorry if you do feel this way, and i hope you come to understand that these disorders are just brain abnormalities that cannot be helped. i don’t want to start a discourse, as this post was just meant to be positive. if you were also trying to be positive, thank you for your addition, i appreciate it! but if you weren’t, i hope you have a good day, anyway. i don’t want to be negative about something like this. 💚

[depresyja]

Sorry if it seemed like I attacked or tried to invalidate the disorders you mentioned. I definitely didn't want to be negative or make people with these disorders feel ashamed. It's just your brain malfunctioning - just like any other body part malfunctions sometimes. So you definitely should not be ashamed of what you don't have much control over. I myself have depression, and also I am a psychology student. What I was trying to do was to spark a discussion, I guess 😅 Because nowadays, there's lots of people talking about depression, anxiety and disorders like that, but there's not much conversation going on about the "bad" disorders. Personality disorders are highly underdiagnosed (and many are difficult to treat, because often the person with the disorder doesn't want to admit he/she has it or doesn't want to be treated). Narcissistic people are looked down on because they're manipulative. And I do agree that one should be careful around a narcissist, but the question is, how do we help them then? Narcissism can be caused by certain negative childhood experiences, just like any other disorder, and some people can definitely feel shame around their disorder, especially if it's not talked about enough and highly judged in society. People who have antisocial personality disorder, or any other disorder that negatively affects other people, very often end up in jail. And then what? While they're there, they're surrounded by cruelty, by other ill people just like them, and are often mistreated by guards and whatnot. So they don't really see much kindness and good examples in there from which they could learn. When they come out, they have even more difficult time adjusting to societal norms and having a normal life, because it's really difficult for a former prisoner to find a job or home. So they feel even more injustice and hostility from the outside world, and if the world is hostile to them, they must protect themselves and be hostile to the world. Nobody is trying enough to treat their traumas that caused them to be this way. Nobody is looking at their brains and diagnosing them or looking for treatments that would actually help, instead of making it worse. I guess that's what I wanted to say. Inside of every monster there's a human that's been hurt or is ill and needs treatment and kindness. And I don't think we're talking about these kind of disorders enough.

I genuinely didn't mean to invalidate anyone. You are so brave to be going through all of this and for talking about it. Keep going! I support you <3
