[farinurlaubofficial-deactivated]

its funny bcs when the leading expert on bpd admitted that she has bpd other psychiatrists who are neurotypical suddenly became dedicated to discrediting her when previously they had agreed with her like thats how fuckin deep ableism goes

[manicdepressivenightmare]

Her name is Marcia Linehan, the therapy program she designed for BPD is called dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and is incredibly innovative and immensely helpful to so many people and is used to treat a variety of mental illnesses aside from BPD, and all of that is 100% accurate, other folks in the field started treating her like absolute shit after she “came out.”

Don’t forget you are loved

[nativespirit111]

When I was little I wanted to grow up so fast. Now I’m afraid to lose everyone I love.

[nativespirit111]

I’m not trying to get likes I’m trying to save people

[nativespirit111]

For those who self harm

I do to too

It’s hard

It’s tempting

It feels good

But you are better than that

I believe in you

For every person who resists I will too

[nativespirit111]

Remember the cycle of abuse

It’s not your fault

You are not to blame

No matter how convincing your feelings are valid

[nativespirit111]

When fucking up your ancle and elbow isn’t enough

[nativespirit111]

How does one live after such a tragedy

[nativespirit111]

Losing the only person who knows your history is worse then death itself

[rose-vs-violet]

AIRPODS OF RESPECT

[nativespirit111]

When you lose yourself it feels like nothing is left

It feels like numbness

It feels like confusion

Like I am no longer me

[nativespirit111]

My heart will never be the same after my great grandfather died. A piece of my family history will always rest with him.

I miss you

[nativespirit111]

Love yourself and all your imperfections

I know it’s hard but you deserve self love💕

[nativespirit111]

When your smoking a cigarette and this free life commercial comes on 🤷🏽‍♀️💀😂

On this night I remember a little girl about 6 years old. I worked at an after school program as a counselor. This sweet little girl was adopted just like me. During play time I heard her sobbing and I went to investigate to make sure she was okay, what she said broke my heart. I asked “what’s wrong sweetie why are you so upset?”. She replied “ how come everyone has a normal family and I just have my mom.” She couldn’t stop crying and it broke my heart. She was so little yet she noticed how different she was from the rest. So I took a chance and told her I was adopted too. She had no idea and was so surprised, she still didn’t understand why her birth parents didn’t want her and her heart aches for a father she never knew and grandparents who died before she was introduced to her new family. I cried with her knowing how hard it was to be adopted at such a young age. I said to her “sweetie you may not have a big family and you may be different. But my adoptive mom chose me out of all the other boys and girls just like your mommy did. Those other parents are stuck with those silly kids but your mommy picked you and that’s a special kind of difference. As you get older you will make your own family. Your friends love you and you love them, doesn’t that make them family? You love your doggie, isn’t he your family? You don’t share the same genes but you accept them into your life. sweet girl, you will one day have a husband or wife with kids and friends. You will make you family. Focus on what you have now and build yourself up from there.” I gave her a big hug ( which is against protocol but fuck it you know? )

Yes this is a true story, I’m not exaggerating or making things up. I think about this girl every day and my heart breaks knowing the struggles and confusion she is going through just like I did. I had to leave that job due to college and my second job. But I will never ever forget her. She always helped the other kids and kissed their boo boos and wanted to be everyone’s friend. She would be in third grade now,

You go girl. Stay strong and make a difference.

[itched]

when we say ‘respect nb identities’ it includes ones that you don’t ‘understand’ okay? okay

[nativespirit111]
