My whole mood this year.

Don’t be hitting me up asking me why we don’t talk when you don’t make any efforts to stay connected.

I thought things couldn’t get more horrifyingly amusing than the woman who wanted people to pay $1000 each to go to her wedding so she could “feel like a Kardashian for a day” and had a Facebook breakdown about it saying she was gonna go backpacking in Peru to “find herself” after being “betrayed” by her friends who didn’t want to partake but here we are

[caffeinatedcorvid]

I thought it was the same person ngl.

[imsuchacapricorn]

I’m in the wedding shaming group and saw both this and the Peru post before it went viral. Love it.

[imsuchacapricorn]

THERE’S AN UPDATE

[a-melior-ate]

Stephanie is a true hero.

[hemilf]

my favorite thing about this update is that the fact that we are even SEEING this means there’s AT LEAST one other snitch in the party that she hasn’t caught yet

[kissmeimhylian]

i was hoping there was a part 4 and i was not disappointed

Things I never knew about depression until I finally had a doctor explain the disease to me

Depression can manifest as irrational anger.

My complete and total inability to keep anything clean or tidy for any amount of time is a symptom of my depression. I may never be able to do this. It’s important that I remember that and forgive myself when I clean something out (like my car) and it ends up trashed within a week.

Depression IS A DISABILITY. Requiring accommodations is okay.

Medications don’t make you better, they don’t cure your depression. They serve as an aid. Their purpose is to help you get to everyone else’s minimal level of functioning.

Depression can cycle through periods of inactivity. This doesn’t mean it’s gone away.

The reason I don’t feel like other people understand me is because … well … other people DON’T understand me. They can’t. They don’t have my disability.

Paranoia is par for the course.

Depression can and will interfere with your physical mobility. Forgive yourself when you can’t physically do something.

It’s entirely possible that I may never be able to live by myself. I can’t take care of myself. I need help to do it. And that’s okay.

As someone who suffers from depression and who experiences all these things as well I think this is important and needs to be reblogged. Depression is a very difficult thing, not only for people who suffer from it, but for everyone who knows a depressed person. My family doesn’t know how to deal with it, my friends try their very best to support me and I have tried to pretend I was fine until I was in ninth grade.

[avalugg]

Everything makes so much more sense

[helly-watermelonsmellinfellon]

Depression is a disease of the brain. The brain is an organ. When organs are not functioning properly, you are advised to see a doctor and get help. So why is it so hard to understand that the brain can suffer as well, and that we need help for it?

The brain controls the body. A sick brain means a sick body.

[thedevils-playmate]

…. Shit.

[yemme]

Don’t disregard it as just sadness.  Depression is life threatening.

[fancyladssnacks]

This is a great post. Many people think of depression as a mood disorder which is really only looking at one aspect among many. In my case, low moods are one of the most minor symptoms. The real killer is my lack of energy and low tolerance for stress, which dramatically affects my mental and physical health.

Three (3) years later and this tweet did not age well at all….

So important to talk mental health and challenge stigma - conversations and showing compassion and warmth without judgment

writer: this is one of my male characters! he cares about his guy friends and loves them deeply.

tumblr: oh! so he’s gay!

writer: uh…no, he’s attracted to women.

tumblr: ….so he’s bi!

writer: uhh…no…….he loves his guy friends but he’s not romantically/sexually attracted to them.

tumblr: ….so you’re homophobic.

[sandersstudies]

Healthy male friendships are almost as rare in mainstream fiction as gay male relationships, and maybe more rare in fanfiction. Let men be wonderful friends without pushing a romantic relationship, just like men and women should be able to be wonderful friends without the pressure of a romantic relationship.

Please reblog if you know anyone who might take party drugs.

[smeliot-deactivated20220528]

this is so important

[arkhamarchitecture]

Also important information: A cop cannot arrest you for something you already took. You can tell a cop to his face that you just injected black tar heroin in your veins and as long as you don’t currently have any on you (including things like syringes or residue in a pipe), there’s fuck all he can do about it.

I take police reports for a living. The number of people who will happily tell someone “Well officer, this fight started because I smoked crack cocaine earlier,” is astounding and also not at all illegal. The criminal charge is for Possession of a Controlled Substance. If you don’t possess any at the time, there’s no crime. The only thing you can get dinged for is if you’re actively on a drug and driving, in which case - DUI.

Please, please, please tell EMTs what you took. They’re not going to rat you out to the cops and even if they did, you will still be okay.

Spreading the word, being honest with paramedics and doctors can save your life

[saintcanaanofthesheep]

I know this is a fun tweet and all that but it absolutely is an instance of striaght privilege. Heterosexual people have up to seven years to explore their sexual and romantic attraction in an environment that is designed for them while many queer youth deligate their time in maneuvering their identity in response to themselves and their environment. It’s one of the reasons why dating as a queer adult is so hard: so many of us are romantically undersocialized when compared to our heterosexual peers, who are not only given social liscence to explore themselves, but who have the additional benefit of being able to see themselves in media.

There will always be exceptions to this, of course, but it’s so sad to see how the effects of childhood homophobia haunt us well into our adult years, to the point where it limits our opportunity to connect with other people around us.

[adhdteacherthings]

lowkey pissed that so many parents are against getting their kid an ADHD diagnosis cuz they’re scared of ADHD meds, and by lowkey I mean highkey because

1) you don’t have to take meds if you get diagnosed with ADHD

2) meds work for a lot of people with ADHD and make them feel internally calmer/more in control of themselves

3) you want your child to be as healthy as they can be, so why would you ignore your child’s mental heath just because you’re scared of it?

[adhdemiman-deactivated20190618]

Also, the “I don’t want him to be labelled!” crowd.

He will be labelled. He’ll be labelled as stupid, lazy, crazy, childish, immature, sensitive, and weird. By his peers, his teachers, his bosses, and by himself.

Or, you could give him a framework for better understanding himself. A neutral label. 

[spongebob-autisticquestions]

Don’t dismiss it just because you’re scared! Ignoring their mental health will do nothing good

[theconcealedweapon]

At least if they’re labeled with the name of a disability, they’ll know why they struggle, which could allow them to figure out a solution. If they’re labeled as stupid, lazy, or weird, they won’t know why, so they won’t be able to fix it.
