Mental Health FTW

I've been fighting Major Depressive Disorder for around 8 years. I've been on medication, tried improving myself, and tried some therapy. Starting February 5th I'm starting a partial hospitalization program to get this shit under control.

1. When you cut yourself, clean and bandage it. 2. Do not start smoking cigarettes because the boy who broke your heart does. 3. When you want to kill yourself, don’t. 4. Cutting calories doesn’t do anything but make you unhappy. 5. If the number on the scale rises, throw it out. 6. The first girl you ever “date” is going to call the police on you even though she lives three thousand miles away, because you’re going to tell her that you’re not in a good mental state shortly after you’ve “broken up”. 7. When you want to kill yourself, don’t. 8. Break up with the boy who says, “You had a sexy phase!” when you tell him that you’ve dated a girl before. 9. Dating your friends is not always the best idea, but you can still be friends after you’ve broken up. 10. Your mother will try to become your best friend because you’re leaving for college soon, let her. 11. When you want to kill yourself, don’t. 12. Your closest friend will stop talking to you when you leave for college. 13. It’s always okay to cry. 14. When you want to kill yourself, don’t. 15. When you cut yourself again, clean and bandage it. Do not be ashamed. 16. Your anxiety is going to try and control your entire life. Tell it to shut the hell up, because you’re trying to live and that task is hard enough as it is. 17. The past has a funny way of coming back in the form of you developing a crush on another friend. 18. Try not to hate yourself for breaking up with your boyfriend. 19. If you’re still smoking, apologize silently to your mother. 20. When you want to kill yourself, don’t.

[greelin]

do you ever start to get like really irrationally mad at people for no reason like because they’re standing around in the kitchen and won’t leave when you want to get some food or they move something you set down somewhere else or they forget to close the door when they leave like it’s just a stupid little thing but it makes you so mad

Anxiety is like perpetually hearing the boss/enemy music but never seeing the threat.

This is the best description I’ve ever heard.

You know when you clean your face really well and exfoliate and stuff and your face feels ten pounds lighter and clean and kind of raw, that’s how I want my heart to feel

This is me right this moment

stop reconnecting with toxic people from your past because you’re lonely. focus on getting better and attracting better.

having executive dysfunction is basically just playing a lifelong game of Unstoppable Force vs Immovable Object

The real Tide Pod Challenge is actually doing a load of laundry while suffering from crippling depression.

I have a ‘to-read’ pile as massive as my existential crisis.

I remember a huge tiredness coming over me, a kind of lethargy in the face of the tangled mess before me. It was like being given a maths problem when your brain’s exhausted, and you know there’s some far-off solution, but you can’t work up the energy even to give it a go.

“Depression is such a cruel punishment. There are no fevers, no rashes, no blood tests to send people scurrying in concern. Just the slow erosion of the self, as insidious as any cancer. And, like cancer, it is essentially a solitary experience. A room in hell with only your name on the door.”
