romanticizing mental illness is dangerous and misleading

[restroom]

Artsy depression: haunted eyes, good at art, emo hair and eyeliner on point

Actual Depression: bloodshot eyes, no longer trust themselves with pencils, has not showered in five days

Quirky OCD: organized books, clean room, color coordinated outfits

Actual OCD: Intrusive thoughts, flipping the light switch 8 times so you don’t stab your brother, picking holes in your skin

Cute eating disorders: Slim trim and beautiful, shyly refusing a second helping, dancer aesthetic

Actual eating disorders: Puffy cheeks and eroded teeth from excessive vomiting, hair growing over your freezing body and refusing to eat carrots because they’re too high in carbs

Adorable anxiety: just a smol bean, soft, must be protected from the world

Actual anxiety: crying so hard you throw up, shaking, losing sleep over a period after the “okay”

RPG PTSD: flashbacks, vietnam, u don’t know what i’ve been through kiddo

Actual PTSD: Buying your first pregnancy test at twelve, flinching at high fives, i can’t feel my hands where am I what year is it

Cartoon ADHD: look a squirrel, something shiny, fidgety loveable bufoon

Actual ADHD: rereading the same page over and over because it doesn’t make sense, hasn’t done the laundry in four months, hyperfocusing on a mushroom knowing you have work to do

stop making terrifying realities seem cute. it’s disrespectful for those of us who are actually struggling

[opinionated-truscum]

Fucking preach.

[stop-stalin-and-suck-my-dick]

Uwu smol baby autism: adorably awkward, huggable, acts cute when confused, has some sort of rainman talent and a perfect memory in general

Real autism: worrying about whether you’re interpreting people’s cues correctly/making your tone sound correct for the context, or whether they’re about to get wierded out and uncomfortable bc of something you said, sensory issues that drive you nuts, not being able to adapt to sudden changes in plans and freaking out, melting down or shutting down when stressed by stupid things

I can be hard to handle. But that’s my danger. Because I can be the most sweetest person you have ever met as well.

Sometimes, when I’m terribly afraid of losing someone, I become so stupid and selfish, so mean to the ones I love that I scare that person, whom I want to keep in my life so badly, away. And I always wonder why I am like this. Why can’t I just be good to the people I love? By now I understand why no one wants to stay in my life…

[isadquotes]

“there are just some people you’ll always answer, even if you haven’t spoken to them in months or years and the last time you spoke they decimated your heart, your entire being. even if they were the reason for the permanent stains on your cheeks where your dimples used to be. even if they’re the reason why you didn’t get out of bed for days on end, praying that this was somehow some nightmare you would eventually wake up from. even if it’s years later, and the wounds they had inflicted turned to scars and your smile has returned because of someone new. even if it’s 2 a.m. on a tuesday and you’ve got to be up at 6 a.m. to start your day. a day in a life where they no longer exist. you cling onto a shred of hope that maybe, just maybe that nightmare is still ongoing, that you’re going to wake up one day and he’s going to be there, looking at you with those golden brown eyes and million dollar smile telling you just how beautiful you are. when was the last time he told you that? was it before or after he took your soul? before or after he whispered sweet nothings and empty promises of forever into your ear that you desperately wanted to hear as he was more concerned with taking of your shirt than tearing down your walls. before or after he was unfaithful? before or after he came crawling back to you, head in hands, tear stained cheeks, begging for you. begging for your heart, your forgiveness. little did he know, he didn’t have to beg because he already had it. he still has it. even after all these years. even after all this time. even after all the bullshit and lies. i know he’ll never call again. i’ll never hear his voice. i’ll never tremble at his sweet caress. i’ll never not love him. i’ll always answer him, even though he’ll never want me to. even now, even after all this time.”

‪do you ever just feel like no one actually likes you anymore and then you start to wonder if maybe you really are a terrible person and that’s why no one is ever long term in your life? because yeah same.‬

[burn-the-bridge]

What do you do when the person who broke your heart is the only one who can fix it???

[fightingborderline]

The most painful thing about a heartbreak is not losing the one you love. Because what hurts even more is that those little inside jokes that you had with someone, the rituals you had, the memories you made, and just the things that only you two understood, you will lose that as well. And that is what is hurting the most.

R.R.

[isadquotes]

“Even though he hurt me, even though he shattered my heart, wellbeing and trust. I still speak of him as a beautiful sunset, because like sunsets he never stayed for long and I should off known that.”

Bottle rocket under ice

[overtheunderpass]

rad 

[edwardspoonhands]

I’m pretty sure that the reason the ice fractured into six slices is the same reason snowflakes are often six sided and it has to do with the shape of a molecule of water and I just think that’s so freaking cool.

[opulene-archive]

How would it even stay lit though?

[orangejuiceaholic-deactivated20]

!!!!! it IS actually because of the structure of water molecules! Water molecules are fuckin weird, as are lots of other liquid substance molecules, because theyre shaped like fuckin HEXAGONS! hexagons are those weird, six-sided shapes that re very sturdy, but they dont tend to sit very well when stacked together. thats why, when you fill up a glass of water to its full capacity, it can go OVER the brim a little and not spill over. It’s also why water beads.

anyway, so since water is essentially made up of a gazillion little hexagons, it tends to gather into larger hexagons as it shapes together. this is not visible unless the water is in a solid form, aka ice. when the water is split, it tends to crack around the established hexagons. that bottle rocket exploded in the PERFECT place to show this phenomenon and its geeking me out.

ALSO! the bottle rocket stays lit because the fuse was definitely waterproof and made with magnesium and an oxidizer of some sort. this means that they will burn underwater because they dont need the oxygen from the air to stay lit. thats so fucking weird isnt it. im tipsy and its the 4th of july. sorry for the science haha

[inside-us-only-stars]

Don’t you dare apologize for science
