When you have a day out, and chronic fatigue kicks in.

Honestly people who are undiagnosed are so badass like when I wake up every day with lung pain at least I can be like oh CF is getting me again, but they get up everyday like well this is what we’re doing. And at least I know that my condition is killing me slowly and can expect such but they have no idea of what they’re experiencing is chronic or treatable or fatal. That’s balls man.

I just want to add one thing-

If you have depression or anxiety? you’re not tired for no reason.

You’re tired because you have depression/anxiety.

Not only do they both come with low energy/fatigue as a legit common side effect, but they’re both fucking /exhausting/. fighting your brain all the time? exhausting. adrenaline crashes from anxiety/panic attacks? exhausting. being on edge all the time? exhausting. plus doing things costs /more/ energy when you have those mental illnesses.

You’re not tired for no reason, you’re tied because you have an illness that makes you tired.

during this massive resurgence in star wars hype, i’d like to remind you all that one of the people you’re idolizing - Carrie Fisher - has bipolar disorder. don’t you ever forget that. we are everywhere, we can do great things even while we struggle, we are important, and we deserve to be recognized as such.

For real. I also love that she’s talking about it during interviews and panels, and when people bring up her dog like he’s a fun quirky pet on set, she’s very quick to remind them no, he’s a service dog, he helps her to function.

Also her book Wishful Drinking is hilarious and heartbreaking as she talks about her life and her problems with addiction (which arose as an attempt to self medicate), and Shockaholic continues on in a very frank manner as she talks about how her problems almost lost her custody of her daughter Billie, as well as her life, and how she’s finally found a treatment (electric shock therapy) which is helping her, but also eradicating chunks of her memory. To paraphrase her “she’s losing her mind to stop herself from losing her mind”.

She’s abrasively sharp, witty and frankly hilarious, even when she’s talking about heartbreaking subjects. And yet there’s still fuckers out there talking about how much she’s let herself go over the years and how she should make more effort if she’s gonna be Princess Leia again, and they have no idea, no idea how much effort she puts in to staying alive every day, let alone staying functional and appearing in a movie franchise as big and overwhelming as Star Wars.

Everyone characterizes Leia as this profoundly strong and enduring character. But the character of Leia has got nothing on Carrie Fisher.

Carrie Fisher explains to a little boy what ‘bipolar’ means, at Indiana Comic Con 2015.

I love her so much.

I will always reblog this because it’s the best description of bi-polar I have EVER seen. (Especially to people who don’t understand what mania means. You aren’t HAPPY, you’re very fast.) It was SO important to 15-year-old me to learn that PRINCESS LEIA (whose hair I have envied since age 7, btw) was bi-polar.

nehirose

she is so good and i love her so much, and so so much for TALKING about everything so frankly. (without losing an ounce of her humor).

A mistake repeated more than once is a decision.

Emotionally abusive people fucking suck because they act like they’re the victims and that they’re the nicest person in the world. They make you feel like utter crap and make it nearly impossible for you to prove that you’re the actual victim.

He is not a bad person for not being in love with me anymore. To say it out loud. To mean it. To know it, true as a toothache. To remember how badly I wanted to have it back, your love. How hard I fought. But in the end, how even I knew. Like how trees know to let go of their leaves, that nothing can stop the winter.

Never run back to what broke you.

Remember this, no matter how much you think going back will make you whole again, no matter how hard it is and the courage it takes, do not look back on your past, you can’t re write the ending. (via im-sad-lets-have-sex)
