Not diagnosing a child doesn't mean they won't notice they're different. It just means that instead of thinking "I'm struggling because I have autism/adhd/anxiety/depression/schizophrenia", they will just conclude that they are struggling because they are stupid, weak, annoying, unlovable, etc.

One thing that gets ignored a lot when it comes to mental illness is conflicting symptoms. I sleep both too much and not enough. There will be weeks or months where I’m averaging three to four hours of sleep on a weekday, but on weekends I sleep until 1 pm. Some days I don’t eat my first meal until 4 or 5 pm, while other days I comfort eat all day. All of those are symptoms of depression, and none of them invalidate each other. Manifestation of symptoms can change as a person ages, but it can also change day to do depending on other factors in a person’s life.

having crushes and also having bpd is really hard tbh. do I like you? or are you just my special person and I'm obsessed with you but like, in a platonic way?

bpd culture is having an unhealthy fixation on romance but also thinking you’re too broken to ever be Truly Loved™

DID, schizophrenia, and other disorders with dissociative or psychotic symptoms are not and should not be considered “scary” by people who do not have them.

listen. i may be tired but im right. fine is not enough. change your major if its not for you. cut your hair if youre unhappy with it. leave your partner if you dont belong together. there are so many things in this life that we cant control so dont settle for “fine”. change the things you have power over into the best they can be.

even if it was unintentional, even if they thought they were doing the right thing- you’re still allowed to be angry or upset about how you were mistreated

#idk how beating me for cutting is the right thing tho

self care sounds so basic but please don’t underestimate how difficult it is just to clean your teeth and wash your face when all you want to do is die

me? rapidly fluctuating between a state of extreme anger and sadness and fooling myself into thinking i’m over it all so i can pretend to function? it’s more likely than you think.
