sleep disorders/conditions affecting sleep are no fucking joke man. they're more than just "takes an hour to fall asleep." like yeah that sucks but.
sleep issues can make people sleep all day and be awake all night no matter what they do. they can make people sleep for over half the day every day. they can make people stay up for over 24 hours frequently - and it just goes up from there. being up for days at a time just unable to sleep.
they can make people have a completely unpredictable sleep schedule too. not everyone is capable of going to bed and waking up at generally the same time, or maintaining it.
all this could be more temporary, or it could just be indefinite. like. having to live your life not knowing if you will or will not be conscious at any given time. you can't plan for fucking anything. you can miss almost every plan or event or obligation.
and everyone just hates you for it pretty much, thinking you're irresponsible and lazy.
be nicer to people with sleep problems. they make you physically and mentally feel like shit. they're not a choice.

the bus is never going to come because im a bad person
sometimes people experiencing psychosis and/or mania will come up to you on the street and talk in confusing or upsetting ways. your job is to either have a regular human-to-human conversation with that person or politely leave. your job is not to call 911. do not call 911. you might kill that person if you call 911.
I don't even have the energy to screenshot and respond to your tags- what the actual fuck is wrong with you? "the cops are scared and rightfully so" "mental health calls are the scariest for cops" OH so this isn't about the safety of psychotic & manic people this is about piggy feelings?
and no, actually, this is not USA specific and no, actually, people from other countries should not ignore this post. police violence and sanism weren't invented in the US and they are certainly not unique to here. if you (or anyone) thinks that this bullshit doesn't happen elsewhere then you are not listening.
Someome having an episode is a medical emergency, not a crime in progress; it should be handled by medical personnel and not cops.
some of us live in constant psychosis or have long term or frequent manic episodes. medical emergencies are acute problems, not chronic baseline states. the majority of people with a psychotic disorder experience psychosis regularly. for most psychotic people a psychotic episode is not a medical emergency it is an average Tuesday.
don't call an ambulance on someone who does not want one.
a psychotic episode is not inherently an emergency
I am not very experienced or professional at all, but when a person is having an episode in my neighborhood I kind of assess if they seem like they might need water or a snack, help calling someone to get them home if you feel like sticking your neck out a bit, or if they're just minding their own business so you shoukd g That's all I am most of the people here are qualified to "do" about a person having an episode. Basic human kindness.
I've seen people call the cops on the same woman in my neighborhood I checked on and they basically just passed over the water to her and let her know that she can't hang out on my neighbor's lawn. (they showed up as I was bringing the water out and they wouldn't let me give it to her directly. 🙄) it could have ended much worse if she wasn't a tiny white woman.
i do feel we're at the point of pathologically picking apart our own looks and each others looks to such an extent that the dimensions of someones face or whether they can afford to get the right work done done or their bodily proportions genuinely matters to those who spend a lot of time especially online kind of going back and forth over whether or not someones hot or how to get hot or why being hot matters. and it can really get you too until you go outside and see someone who is genuinely really fucking hot who would probably be called like. mid by the general consensus in your little freak phone
POV: What borderlines look like when they're looking for reassurance.
“Do you still love me?”
“You're not mad at me are you?”
“You don't want to leave me?”
“You sure?”

what do you mean my disability disables my abilities? what the fuck
I bring a sort of "too many of you really despise CSA survivors" vibe to this website that Tumblr users don't really like.
You survive one of the most traumatizing things a child can go through and all you get in exchange is people telling you that your public existence is making it less fun for them to jerk it. To your trauma.
The fact of the matter is that I do not want to do it
"do what?" you might wonder. well. [gestures broadly]
The other day I told a friend of mine that I never forget to take my ADHD meds because I fucking love my ADHD meds. I'm in my late 30s, I didn't finally get a diagnosis and meds until less than two years ago, and they have changed my entire life.
And he raised his eyebrow at me. We'd been discussing addictive medications a few minutes before, like the Tramadol I finally got from the pain specialist to take once a week or so to give me a break from my chronic pain, so I reassured him that methylpenidate (Ritalin/Concerta) is not addictive (at least not in people with ADHD).
His response? To raise his eyebrow even harder and say "Well it sure SOUNDS like it's addictive!"
And I had to explain to this man - who works in a healthcare related job by the way - that just because medication makes you feel good and helps you, just because you look forward to taking it, that doesn't make it addictive or dangerous. And he wasn't convinced.
The simple fact that I was excited to take a daily pill that has literally changed my life, after decades of fighting to get that medication, made him think I shouldn't be taking it so often. That it must inherently be dangerous.
I'm not even in America, but I'm pretty sure this attitude began there and then spread over here to Europe. This Puritan idea of "if something feels good, you must beware of it. Pleasure is dangerous, it is sinful, it is addiction, it is evil."
I know too many people who subconsciously believe that pleasure = addictive = dangerous = bad. Joy is a slippery slope to hell.
So here is your reminder for today that you don't need to be afraid of feeling good. If something improves your life, use it. Even if it is addictive - learn what that addiction means, whether the addiction is inherently dangerous or not, and whether the benefits outweigh the drawbacks and risks.
My ADHD meds are, in fact, not addictive. But I will take them every day because they make my life orders of magnitude easier. I will enjoy them every time I take them.
My tramadol is addictive. I will still take it. I will keep it on a schedule to avoid becoming addicted, primarily because addiction in this case would mean reduced effectiveness. But I am not afraid of my painkillers. They are life changing.
Take your meds, everyone. Don't let anyone scare you away from doing something that improves your life.
