[whispering to a passing bumblebee] autistic wlw are perfect 🌟

[risensappho]

We need more positivity for mentally ill girls who like girls. As a sapphic with multiple mental illnesses, I can tell you that without access to a loving, accepting community like ours, I wouldn’t have survived for very long out in the world. Even when we are a part of this community, it can be so hard. Mentally ill sapphic writers and artists blame themselves for not being able to create more content to make the world a safer place for us. Mentally ill sapphics in general have a hard time believing anyone could love them, and scroll past posts that tell them they’re going to be okay, they’ll find the right girl someday.

This goes out to all the mentally ill sapphics: We are not worth less than our sisters. We deserve to be happy and feel loved.

shout out to all the wlw with anxiety disorders that struggle with public displays of affection and feel guilty about it. It’s okay. You don’t have to do anything that makes you uncomfortable. You’re not a bad wlw because you can’t hold hands, kiss, or hug your girlfriend in public. Your mental health and your safety are more important. Living with anxiety is hard, and you’re really brave for having to go through all this. I know what it’s like, and you’re not alone in this

@ sapphics with eating disorders: you do not need to be a certain weight to have an eating disorder. your eating disorder is valid no matter what weight you are

[ndsapphics]

heya! can i have a shoutout? I'm @sapphicsimming, a blog where girls who like girls can gush about the gayest things their ladysims have done! it's actually my special interest, too, so I'll reblog a few posts about that!

omfg i love the sims! however, uh, i tried to find your blog and it kept coming up as not found. did you change your url? i’m sorry, but i can’t exactly make a shout out for a blog that doesn’t exist. if you told me the new url or maybe fix a problem that’s making me unable to find your blog, then i’d be happy to!

Is this blog still active?

yes, it is. or, at least, it should be. i still want this blog to remain a safe place for nd sapphics where they can talk to us and we can maybe provide some support or just give them someone to talk to.

i’m also not the only mod on this blog, so i don’t know why we haven’t been posting. maybe they’re all busy just like i was but i’m going to start setting up a queue.

hey, everyone! remember all those mod introduction posts i made? yeah, they’re gone now haha. here’s a nice, fresh one since i can’t keep up with consistency. i am honestly the poster girl for change and inconsistency. if i was a Greek goddess, those would be what i would be the goddess of. anyway, here we are:

i am the founder of this blog

my name is chelsie and i also respond to cece ( combination of my first and middle names :) )

i’m 18 but 19 in august. i am Very Adult

i’m a cis bisexual woman in a relationship with a man

Hi! I'm a 16 y/o bi girl starting my recovery from depression and anxiety. I was kinda getting better unit last week when my best friend and I were talking and came to the topic of sexuality. Hes one of the very few people Im out to and the only person I trust and I found out that hes actually homophobic and is judging me. Honestly I feel like somones punching me in the stomach every time I think about that and I have no idea what to do. Do you have any advice? (And sorry for my english)

That sucks, I’m really sorry. Finding out someone you trusted is homophobic is one of the worst feelings ever. My best advice would be to distance yourself from him. It’s going to be hard to do, but it’s really not good for your mental health to stick around when he makes you feel like that. 

If you need someone to talk to, I’m here.

Hey you don't have to answer this if maybe it's a tad difficult to answer, but okay so I'm currently in recovery from self harming (cutting), and I could hide them pretty easily even in spring & summer except for certain situations like swimming BUT im starting to consider maybe not hiding them once shorts season rolls around? No one except my therapist & best friend knows I've done that & the only person who has ever seen them is my therapist & there's quite a few scars 1/2

and there's quite a few scars on my ankles especially and I want to stop hiding and enjoy life and enjoy swimming again BUT I'm absolutely TERRIFIED to death of what my mom & brothers & friends & classmates & my at times blunt & interrogating cousins/extended family will say & it's pretty obvious what they're from and I'm afraid of stares and I just don't know what to do when people ask rude questions and family/friends demand answers!! I don't want to tell anyone & I don't want to talk about it

this is really intimate and personal, but i also have experience with self - harm as i’ve done it myself before. not even my closest friends know this, and i have only told one or two other people in my life before, so i know where you’re coming from.

i hid mine, usually, because i was afraid of what others would think or say. it didn’t help that i had eczema so my arms were very itchy and i couldn’t scratch them properly because of all the deep scars i had on my arms. i talked to one person about it who really helped me and helped me to stop and no one was any the wiser.

i don’t know if that was healthy or not, or if i should have told my parents that i felt like i had to do that. however, i don’t think it was. if you can, i think you should tell your family. i don’t know what your family is like, but i believe it’s always better hearing it from the person it affects first instead of finding out the hard way. i don’t really know how to give you advice on how to deal with rude remarks, interrogations and stares, but if anything, you can always tell them that it’s none of their business and you don’t want to talk about it. if you can, you could always ignore stares.

you could also always remember that it takes a lot of bravery and courage to show of something like scars.

this is a pretty big decision, and it’s not one i can make for you. this is one of those decisions that you have to make yourself. however, we’ll always be here to help and provide advice if you ever need it.

Mod Capri

Making an updated bio since some things have changed since I made my last one Hello everyone! I’m one of the Mods here on ndsapphics, and here’s some things that you should know about me! - I go by the name Capri - I’m a cisgendered pansexual woman - I’m 20 years old and living with a roommate in the great state of Oregon - I’m being medicated for Generalized Anxiety and Depression (Note: I do not have experience with self-harm). I also struggle with dermatillomania - I’m 6 feet tall, and as a result my joints are always stiff and weak - I draw art and knit stuff while listening to music in my free time - I live with 2 cats who belong to my roommate named Pizza and Wasabi - I’m single and not really looking for anything at the moment Feel free to ask me questions regarding anxiety, depression, dermatillomania, medication, emotional support animals, and just general questions about me if you’d like to know more. I’m an open book!

[ndsapphics]

One of my dearest friends is sapphic (so am I) and I've had a crush on her for a while. We live about two hours apart. She's a very kind person, but every time I text her I feel anxious + insecure afterward about our conversation. Any advice? Thanks!

Wow, it took me a long time to answer the question. I’m really sorry but I’ve been busy with college and other things so I kind of forgot... and I don’t really know why no one else has answered this question since I don’t run this blog alone but alright.

Anyway, I know how it feels to have a conversation with someone that you really like whether it be platonically or romantically. 

My advice would be to think about why it’s making you feel anxious and insecure. Maybe try and figure out what about the conversation is making you feel this way ( is it fear that you may have said something wrong? Is it fear that she may just be pitying you and talks to you just because she feels sorry for you? Is it fear that she knows but she doesn’t like you back? ).

If it is any of those things, you could tell yourself that they aren’t true and focus on something else that makes you happy and takes your mind off it.

I hope I helped some. If not, just send in another ask.
