i love when people act like they know how you feel and like they're fully considering you when because of the nature of my disorders you actually do NOT know how i feel and you can't even conceptualize or imagine it, and even trying to is a waste of time. You have no idea how i feel and i don't really care how you feel anymore.

reading a good interesting book after a horrible reading slump and suddenly you can feel the sun shining again and the sky is more beautiful than ever and birds are all singing songs to you

[neverfuckinglookatme]

so you're allowed to be selfish but no one else is

[freakoutgirl]

sorry for being annoying [remembers that practicing gratitude instead of shame is better for my mental health and my relationships] thank you for letting me be annoying with you

you have to be kinder to people with memory issues.

you have to be kinder to people who are slow processors.

you have to be kinder to people who don't understand your jokes.

you have to be kinder to people who forget important dates.

you have to be kinder to people with cognitive decline.

you have to be kinder to people who were always this way, too.

you have to be kind. you have to be kind.

[neverfuckinglookatme]

whatever is wrong with me makes it feel like I'm getting attacked with weird information constantly. Like write the date and the time??? U care about that???

[lakevida]

i bet the pain will end if i arrange a perfect enough sentence about it

[neverfuckinglookatme]

they act like its so fucking easy to just 'get help' like anyone even can or wants to help.

[neverfuckinglookatme]

i probably live in a different world than you do

but i can still see it , touch it. And especially hear and smell it.

But I'm still fading through it slowly

With, still, after years, the edges around me blurred

And dreamlike in nature

When you know your perception creates, that your mind projects and recieves,

A constant stream, of anticipatory information, of signals, of messages and my body is the cellphone tower and I'm wired to my lovers and some are soldered in

And the communication just keeps communicating even when I'm desperate for it to die

And the others with the wire cutters cut the ones i liked

But i had the wire cutters so which of us is the problem?

And where will the signal end?

And how do i communicate through all these wires, these ones and zeros, these zeroes and ones

When i'm thinking in my thoughts and there's not enough numbers to measure the mind.

So anyway anyone wanna be friends 😝

I see sex and reproduction at the centre of life and this strange world, like a blackhole at the centre of a galaxy, everything revolves around it, the closer you are to this black hole, the less you see of the galaxy, the harder it is to escape and fly towards the edges or free yourself of the world, sex is a lowly activity that drags you down and away from enlightenment, it is no wonder that spirituality always frowns upon it, nothing good can come out of an activity reserved for animals, reproduction happens when instinct overrides higher reason, and sex happens when body takes over mind. My intuition tells me the path to enlightenment is the path of most resistance, since everything else follows the path of least resistance, enlightenment can be achieved if you break this pattern and go against it.

It bothers me so much that the healthcare system relies so much on the patient's ability to advocate for themselves, organize their history, and be so persistent against every medical “professional” who says there’s nothing wrong/they can do. But so many struggle with fatigue, brain fog, and face such ingrained systemic barriers, that the people who need and deserve help and support can’t access it.

I saw something recently that resonated with me: “Access shouldn't depend on who has the energy to fight for it.” And I’ve never agreed with anything more.

psych wards treating people like they're disordered or unstable for not wanting to be locked up and have their every waking moment scrutinized should really be all you need to know to realize they don't exist to help people.
