People at my middle school would throw the r slur around like crazy and whenever I asked them to stop they denied it was a slur and told me to “stop being such a butthurt” anyway I just needed to vent

i remember when that slur was being used. people thought it was cool to use and i never understood why. it's not even being "butthurt" about it either. it's just being respectful and some people don't know how to do that apparently.

I feel like my mom doesn’t understand the severity my ptsd symptoms can get. She treats it like it’s just “teenage hormones” and equates my episodes to having a temper tantrum. This might have something to do with her having something happening to her around my age that was similar to my trauma and she never rly talked to anyone about it (wether that negatively impacted her or not idk). I still love her but I feel like no one but therapist understands me.

hey thats understandable! there are definitely older generations that never sought out help for things they were experiencing. it does suck that she isn't taking it seriously. idk if having a session with therapist and mom could help any?

My friend is slightly overweight and keeps saying shit like "I wish I could have an eating disorder" and "I wish I could just throw up everything I eat but I don't have the will power" and usually I just get mildly ticked (she knows I have ed-nos) but it's times like rn where I'm shaking, feeling like I'm freezing even though my house is hot because I just forced myself to throw up that it pisses the fuck out of me.

I was talking to my father about my newest pill for focusing and explaining my executive disfuction and hes like everyone is like that. And like no you dont understand

I live with my mom and stepdad. The fact that I’ve been in a mental institution because of self harm and depression is one thing, the fact that my stepfather and Mom started acting like everything is fine again is another, the fact that they dismiss my adhd and executive dysfunction and returned to their behavior before the hospital stay is one more other thing, but my biological father stalks me. He once sent me a picture of him in front of my empty home while I had tutoring. Fucks sake.

I have ADHD and depression so that means if I'm hyperfocused on something that I need to get done like cleaning my room then I'm going to be extra upset about someone interrupting me because now it won't get done for another billion years so please don't act like you're the victim because I've inconvenienced you with my emotions

And I really don't care if you aren't interested in his special interest he thought you were special enough to share it with so you can at least pay attention to him

Dude sometimes neurotypicals are super mean like my little brother with autism will sometimes go ”are you sarcasming me?” if he doesn't understand your tone (which is very cute since he's young but that's besides the point) and whenever he does that I'll hear some people make fun of him when they assume I'm not listening. Also people I've known a while will say ”is he going to be like that forever?” just because he hasn't quit being autistic since he's in third grade which really annoys me.

My neurotypical roommate is a psych major. Fine until she told me that she studies psychology because “serial killers are SO interesting” and “I want to prevent serial killers”. Not that. Neuroatypical people/those of us with mental illness need compassion and understanding. Nah we’re just carnival sideshows. :o)

My misphonia isn't me "being a dick". It's having to have to isolate myself. It's getting violent thoughts of hurting people to make the sound stop. Purposely setting it off as a "joke" and then blaming me for lashing out as a response is the real dick move.

anyway why do neurotypicals act so deeply offended+hurt when you make simple requests like “please stop being so loud”

I literally started the other day out real peppy and hopeful for once after a therapy session and now I’m still hurt and down after an RSD episode my guardians brought on during that car ride home because I procrastinated (forgot, lots of other things also stressing me out, having lethargic side effects from a new med) something direly important and “made [them] look like f**king idiots” in the process. And tho they know about my adhd their answer to everything’s “just force yourself to do it”

non-depressed person:

"My name is Josh and I'm cLiNiCaLly DePrEsSeD. Haha! Funny joke! Edgy! What? There are people who suffer from depression, who wouldn't appreciate what I just said? Ugh, take a joke you social justice warrior!11"

there’s a girl in my school who wants to be a psychologist for children with ‘special needs’ (not rly sure if that phrase is fine to use, but I’m quoting her) but she frequently uses the r slur and is v judgmental of people acting out (re: people displaying neurodivergent symptoms). It terrifies me that these people work in the field that mentally ill people rely on for survival, and my wellbeing may be in their hands

My friend asked me to submit this here because he doesn’t have a tumblr, He goes to a normal public school and has ptsd. Everyone (and I mean everyone) knows he has a service dog and might have an attack midway through class. He spends 15 minutes trying to ask a teacher to be let out only to be refused and be shouted at. The teacher only lets him out when he vomits and another kid shouts to the teacher.

the teacher should be fired ??? the education system is becoming more shitty as the days progress

my mom thinks hugging me every day will make me like being touched. surprise surprise, it makes me hate it even more. related: she refuses to send me to therapy while she goes to therapy herself so that's wonderful

oh god i feel this. my mom tries and i flinch or try to get away from her every time. but it’s weird that she goes and you don’t??? like she could at least let you go when she doesn’t feel like going or if she needs to do errands or something..
