Tonight I miss the times that you loved me sober It seems like every time I try to get closer I’m pushed away much further than the last This time I know things aren’t so simple You’re right We aren’t kids with huge potential It’s time We take our mistakes example Of just how, we choose our own paths Maybe this time you fall could be your last? And you say Even if I tried it never lasts Needles, blow or maybe a flask These things are not the issue, it’s the tear and not the tissue, ive been right there fucked up with you You say I don’t deserve To take up space and love on this earth Every step I take is wrong and I’m trying I think I just need a little time I say hey just look me in my eyes If you wanted to we could walk through the ring of fire Might get burned a bit but I know we’ll be fine I need you to survive but I can’t be the one you call at five AM when you haven’t slept and you’re close to dead I can’t have your safety mean more than mine within my head I deserve A little peace walking through this earth If I could take you by my side I’d prefer But I will not light myself on fire just to burn, because you say you’re freezing Not anymore I will walk through all these open doors I’ve made myself a way to be more

“its okay to cry. cry over all you have lost, cry over all you have ever wanted, cry over all you have never had. cry over the boys who never loved you and cry the boys who loved you too much. cry over the times your heart has broken and cried for all of the times it wont. cry for all of the family who is never there, cry for all of the family who would be there if they could. cry for all of the goddamn beauty in the world, cry because you will never see it all.”

fuck medication fuck psychiatrists fuck the mental health act and fuck anyone who thinks that they possess the right to manipulate and permanently change another human being’s brain chemistry to suit the norms of the rest of society.

spoken like a true ableist

[crucifuqs-deactivated20150901]

my scars tell me differently, ‘probablyavirgin’; there seems to be just as much ignorance and discrimination involved in ableism as there is in your comments.

[probablyavirgin]

medication is a must for many people with real mental illnesses, as well as therapy and the mental health act

“sometimes I wish I could be your blood because I find it so unfair how you run through my veins when I don’t even get to feel your body and sometimes I wish I could taste your lips even though I’m sure they taste of vodka and poison but mostly I wish I could be the cause of your goosebumps simply by trailing kisses down your spine, the worst part of this toxic love is your passion will never match mine”

There’s no shame in having a mental illness. It’s okay to struggle, it’s okay to be open about your feelings, it’s okay to need help and support. You don’t need to be embarrassed or apologetic for being symptomatic. You aren’t a burden for seeking help. There’s no shame in going to therapy or being on medication, in taking time off from things to care for yourself. Being unwell is not a shameful thing, and neither is taking care of yourself. Do whatever you need to to help you on your path to recovery and coping. Your health is the most important thing, and that will always be okay.

A lot of people in the replies to this seemingly have no idea what “class” is.

It’s not a set of values or something you automatically earn after college or like some mysterious inherent quality your parents pass down to you. 

(Like, maybe your parents have enough money/assets where they can sustain you through economic insecurity, but let’s be honest…that’s not most people’s situation.)

If you are struggling with bills, if you don’t have savings, if you constantly question even small purchases, if spending a few thousand dollars on a vacation seems like a distant dream…you are not middle class.

And most importantly, saying you are not middle class is not an attack on your character. 

Instead it’s a reminder to fight for your own economic interests, and not to let companies, your boss, or politicians trick you into working against yourself by believing you’re part of the “mythical middle.”

[king-emare]

Damn

[wetwareproblem]

What’s more, if your first response to “you’re not middle class!” is to treat it like an attack on your character? Then you really need to stop and examine what you think about lower-class people.

Americans like to quote Kurt Vonnegut, that ‘socialism never took root in America because Americans see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.’

What that politely obscures is why Americans see themselves as future rich people: they despise the poor, even if they themselves are poor, and so would rather see themselves as “middle class” rather than ever see themselves as “poor.”

[accelerationist-king-piccolo]

I would also like to add on this that if you are paying a mortgage on a home, but it’s a 30 year mortgage…you’re NOT middle class. Sorry!

[reembodied]

“But by these definitions, almost NOBODY I know in the USA qualifies as middle class?!?!” Yep. Correct. Turns out the result of several decades of a “disappearing middle class” is almost everybody is poor.

Half of the membership of the US Congress are millionaires

(also white male elderly and their wealth is inherited, which means 1% have 50% representation in Congress)

Congressional salary in the House is 170k

when asked what a middle income in the US, most members of Congress said oh 170k

it’s actually LESS THAN 50k a year

How do people live! They cry in horror (Dems at least)

how indeed?

honestly just shouting into the void here, but I am afraid. my mother may have cancer, she has had multiple tests and now she has to have a biopsy then surgery to remove the mass whether it’s cancer or not. i live in another state and she needs me, but i don’t want to go home. i don’t want to take this on. i don’t want to put my life on hold. i know this makes me seem so fucking selfish but I am so fragile. i am afraid. i need anyone.
