I'll never be your victim

BPD diagnosed 2018. CSA 2010ish. Raped 2015. Bitter but no longer heartbroken. In love but not letting it consume me. Healing.

I feel safe to scream here. My heart breaks for Sarah and I can't look away and the doom scrolling is killing me but when there are other women who reported incidents in the same place with the same car years ago and statistically on average by the time a man is charged with rape he will have 7-14 victims. I don't know how I can look the other way. This is not okay.

sometimes, things start getting bad or my thoughts get too loud or my chest gets too heavy and i am so sure that i am going to hurt forever, but it gets better every single time. i just never seem to remember.

Me: hmmm I think that I'm actually making progress and overcoming my depression

Corona and self isolation: :)

Me: guess I'll kill myself

Do I get a star for first suicidal thoughts of the decade?

[despitethetrauma]

Cried the whole way home. Dissociated intensely. Decided to be self destructive and start drinking. Crying again. Lashing out at people. I feel horrendous. I hate being like this. I don't use this account much because I've got better at communicating but I can't deal right now.

hm so psa bc i didn’t know this, it’s not common knowledge, and flu season is around:

apparently you aren’t supposed to take dextromethorphan (a common cough suppressant. it’s in stuff like cough syrup, mucinex dm, tylenol severe cold) with sertraline (aka zoloft, the antidepressant) bc it has the risk of causing Serotonin Syndrome, which is not as fun as the name suggests. i’m not a doctor but like, avoid drug interactions bc they can be serious.

remember to read labels guys aaa

[ursulaklegun-deactivated2024122]

Not just sertraline, any SSRI or SNRI. Serotonin syndrome can kill you. When I was younger and on a lot of medication, a dose of cough medicine landed me in the ER. Always check potential interactions here before taking anything with antidepressants, even if it’s over-the-counter.
