Forget The Stigma

G.A.McCarthy- Blogger//Dreamer/Lone Wolf//  Please follow my Twitter account - @forgetthestigma. My aim is to provide a place where those who are judged and misunderstood can come togther and realise that they are not alone. Mental Health is still surrounded by a stigma that makes those suffering feel as though they are to blame and that is simply not the case. It is not something we chose, it is not something we can change, it is not something we can be define by. What it is, is a struggle we need admiration and support for fighting.

It is important to remember that true love would never ask you to sacrifice your self-respect. That a partner who belittles you is not interested in your heart of soul, only your surrender and obedience.

They won't tell you fairytales of how girls can be dangerous and still win. They will only tell you stories where girls are sweet and kind and reject all sin. I guess to them it's a terrifying thought, a red riding hood who knew exactly what she was doing when she invited the wild in.

All we want is to know that we’re not alone. That’s why we sing our hearts out to those heart-breaking ballads, we cling to those raw words written on tear stained paper, we rewatch those despairing romance movies with star-crossed lovers.  We want to know we aren’t crazy, that someone else can explain the things we cant.

Needing Alone Time

Sometimes I need time alone. I don’t know if it because of my mental health or if its just me, but all I know is that without it I feel a huge lack of control and severe anxiety. Its never personal to anyone in my life, I know I am surrounded by amazing people and I never take them for granted, but I still need to turn everything off and get away.

Every so often; I’d say maybe every couple of weeks, I’ll begin to feel everything building up, and when i say ‘everything’ I don’t even now what it is the majority of the time, its just life getting on top of me and getting me down. When this happens I take it out on everyone, I know I shouldn’t but every little scenario and daily task is well… a task! even spending time with those that I love makes me agitated and claustrophobic. Now I know that sounds ridiculous to those who may not have felt this way before but its the best way I can describe it.

I feel a sense of bliss at the thought of locking myself away with maybe a cup of tea and a TV series I have been waiting to begin. I want to turn my phone off and forget about the world, just for the night, a few hours without the reminders of my worries and struggles in daily life. I’ll stay up whilst the rest of the world is sleeping, killing time with the little things that bring a sense of happiness like my favourite cheesy music and a bowl of comfort food.

My alone time helps me to put everything into perspective and realise that life isn’t all that difficult when it comes down to it. It allows me to find myself, the side of me that no one else sees. When everything gets a little too much, sometimes being alone is all you really need.

Just for a while.

The most real conversations are those spoken after 1am. When the world is asleep and all emotions are heightened. That's when you really learn what someone lives for
