you may not be the cure to my depression, but id be lying if i said seeing your sleepy smile every morning when we wake up doesn’t push it away for the time being. you may not be the cure to my depression, but id be lying if i said you texting me telling me you’ll be home in a few minutes doesn’t make me forget everything shitty in my life for that moment. you may not be the cure to my depression, but id be lying if i said falling asleep curled up in your arms every night doesn’t make me feel like im actually normal.

you may not be the cure to my depression, but id be lying if i said the love we share doesn’t make it the easiest to deal with than it ever has been.

Your mental illness is lying to you.

You are not stupid. You are not ugly. You are not worthless. You are not weak. You are not a burden. Your mental illness is lying to you.

baileyarber-deactivated20180111

Fuck.

tearyourcurtainsdown

Also:

No you’re not bothering me. (Yes I’m serious.)

You’re not dumb.

You have great ideas.

Your smile isn’t ugly.

Neither is your laugh.

Yes people love you. No they’re not lying. Yes really.

fun-n-fashion

YOU ARE NOT BOTHERING ME.

You don’t need to apologize, I actually AM very interested in our conversation.

YOU DON”T NEED TO APOLOGIZE FOR EXISTING.

Uhm… I really fucking needed to see this.

jackslenderman

Yes, I am happy to hear from you.

You look nice today.

No, you aren’t being annoying.

Tell me more about the things you like, I’m interested in what you have to say.

If you changed your mind and can’t handle going out, we can hang out at home instead, I really don’t mind and I’m not mad at you.

Yes, I am really honestly happy that you’re here!

I think you’re pretty great actually.

Side note: if you tell me to stop apologizing, I will apologize for apologizing so much

You are beautiful.

You are important.

You are valued.

You are loved.

You are family.

You will always be safe here, and you are never a burden to me.

tips for incoming freshmen?

work harder than you currently are (no matter how hard you’re working now) because it’ll get rougher.

don’t bite off more than you can chew. aka don’t sign up for 38383838 clubs and barely participate just because you think it’ll look good on your college app. pick a few clubs you’re genuinely interested in, take up leadership positions there, and make an impact.

stay focused with apps like Forest: Stay Focused and website blockers like this, this, and this!

read this post

prepare for exams in every sense; get your notes, mindset, and health together a week or two before an exam. pace yourself and do not cram!!! study an hour a night for two weeks rather than pulling all-nighters for three days straight. study help here

practice writing essays! writing tips here. essay help specifically here

PRIORITIZE

destress once in a while. here are resources for that. also resources for people with anxiety

don’t spend too much time stressing over drama with friends, school dances, etc. it is important to enjoy these things during high school, but if they just stress you out, don’t worry about them!! (personally, school dances only became fun when i had friends who didn’t blow shit out of proportion)

start a bullet journal!! examples and tutorials here

organize like no other. tips for organization here

hope that helps!

freshman advice for the signs! (take all of it though)

aries: in doubt when it comes to making friends? join all the sports!

taurus: JUST! GO! TO! THE! DANCES! ALL OF THEM! AND THE FOOTBALL GAMES TOO!

gemini: who do you think you are???? putting off that essay till the night before???? DONT DO THAT

cancer: keep a diary for the duration of your high school career because it will be a joy to look back on

leo: it's VERY, VERY okay to ask teachers for help get over yourself and just DO IT

virgo: don't do things just so that your college application looks nice and shiny because that isn't the point

libra: be yourself :) do you :) value your happiness :)

scorpio: your crush won't matter ten years from now

sagittarius: have a planner and actually use it

capricorn: don't let that stoner in the back of bio copy your notes

aquarius: you not solving algebra problems #2-34 on purpose won't change the state of our education system at all so you might as well do it for the easy points

pisces: don't listen to the haters and kiss up to the teachers as much as you can because it WILL pay off

stuck-inasmalltown

listen up freshman babies

on Twitter the #freshmanadvice is terrible and it’s mostly for hazing. but if you’re entering high school I have some advice for you.

• wash your face every night and take of all your makeup.

• do your homework as soon as you get home. I’m serious. I’ve only done it a couple times and I kill myself with all the work I put off.

• procrastination is inevitable but try to avoid it. I’ve had so many avoidable emotional breakdowns.

• if you need help, ask for it.

• study

• that boy/girl who is consuming you entire life right now, probably won’t matter in a couple years. it’ll be okay.

• don’t worry about not being asked to any dances, go with a pack a friends and look fly af. it’ll be okay.

• get involved in things. clubs. sports. theater. chorus. band. there is something for you.

• relax.

• almost every worksheet is online. seriously, just google the title. you’ll probably find it.

• sparknotes is your new best friend.

• the buddy system for notes/homework is always a good plan.

• your grades are important but breathe. you’ll survive even if you get a D on a test. if you don’t get straight A’s. it’ll all be okay.

• don’t date seniors. don’t do it.

• you can do it, it’s not as scary as it seems.

In a one-hour briefing with a foreign policy expert, Donald Trump asked three times why the US can’t just use nuclear weapons. Three. Times.

The presidency is set up in such a way that, during a crisis, the president is able to launch nuclear weapons without argument. Military officers directly under his command are sworn to do as he asks in these scenarios, and cannot decline. That would be a criminal offense. Treason.

The likelihood that Donald Trump will start a nuclear war if elected is fucking staggering and we AS A SPECIES cannot afford to let it happen. The Cold War only ended 25 years ago, we can’t go back to living in that state of fear. We can’t elect a literal, actual fascist who wants to do away with the Geneva Conventions, would forcibly seize land in the Middle East, has quoted Benito Mussolini along with his #MakeAmericaGreatAgain hashtag, has proposed numerous policies that go against the United States Constitution and threaten rule of law (and here’s a list), consistently encourages his supporters to commit violence (and EACH WORD of that is a separate link, and it’s not even the bulk of stories on the matter), and wants the world to prepare for nuclear war. I could list PLENTY MORE of these, but it’s making me feel physically ill to keep looking over these.

This is horrifying. Please, for the love of god, vote Clinton. Vote for the candidate who is not an aspiring fascist dictator with an itchy nuclear-launch finger. Do not waste your vote on a third party. Don’t let the next Ralph Nader effect occur. Don’t put this man in office, I am begging you.

Date someone who understands your mental illness and will power through your outbursts with you.

It’s what you deserve.

You deserve someone who cares enough to stay even when you’re not okay.

asleepymasc

I FEEL MANIPULATIVE FOR REBLOGGING THIS POST, LOGICALLY, PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO LEAVE IF THEY NEED TO, AND ALSO BECAUSE THEY CAN NEVER HANDLE ME, AND I AM TOO MUCH ANYWAYS SO WHY SHOULD ANYONE HAVE TO HANDLE ME, ALSO I AM SCARED TO LET ANYONE IN AGAIN BECAUSE THEN I LIVE WITH THE CONSTANT FEAR OF ABANDONMENT AND THEY ALSO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT, AND MOSTLY I HAVE BAD DAYS AND LIVING ALONGSIDE ME IS VERY DIFFICULT AND I’M JUST REALLY BAD? A LOT? OF THE TIME? OK. but also don’t i deserve people who would stay by my side? am i good enough for that, i’d really like to be

rangerhanna-56-blog

okay what you just said perfectly describes how I feel. I personally can have certain hysterical fits that are triggered by certain things and I’ve felt bad for the last two people I’ve been in relationships with and I always feel so guilty that they had to put up with me but then I also want a person who isn’t put off by my mental health but I also don’t want them to feel stuckghjskfjfj!! Shoutout to everyone on here and on skype that’s ever had to deal with me. I feel so guilty but I also am grateful you guys DO deal with me.

I love how he let him cry, told him, “We cry as men” and didn’t hit him with the whole, “Big boys don’t cry” mess. That was lovely.

mrbowtiefly

Phenomenal. Allowed him to emote, then worked with him to understand the what and the why.

If you call pedophilia a kink please unfollow me and never talk to me again

spaceyjules-deactivated20180305

Isn’t it disgusting that 23 people just unfollowed me

clarknokent

Unfollow me too

gothhabiba

this goes double if you call paedophilia a disability. unfollow me twice

closet-keys

and if you call pedophilia an “orientation” or in any way compare it to being LGBP+ you can unfollow, delete your blog, and set yourself on fire.

The danger of being a writer: You carve out these characters that you fall in love with, and yes they are probably based off people you know. However, you transform them into the best version of themselves, the one you wish you had known. They’re flawed yet, in a weird way, perfect. They’re perfectly imperfect, and as a writer, you fall in love with every hill and valley on their plot-lines. We edge close to the rim of the cliff of reality. Being a writer is dangerous because the real world always disappoints.

Poetry will be the death of me (via high-strung)

lifesuggestions

1. if he loves you, you won’t feel stranded. you won’t feel like the one pushing the relationship.

2. if he loves you, there will be a change. maybe he talks about you a lot. maybe he’s kinder to people. maybe he hasn’t believed in relationships until he met you. whatever it is, remember that. it is important and will keep you from running away from this love that is inevitably vital to your growth as a human.

3. if he loves you, it may not always be shown in the way you realize, but it will be shown. maybe he uses his words, or maybe he’s never been good at that. maybe instead he does things, physical things, to show you that he really is loyal to you and wouldn’t do those things with anyone else. maybe he buys you things, which can be how some people are. or maybe he does things for you, little things, and talks about how he’s going to make everything in your life be lovely.

4. if he loves you, you will feel scared. because you will most likely love him too. and that’s frightening. and you are easily frightened off, you run away from things like this. but you can’t. not again because,

5. if he loves you, this will be the best thing you didn’t run away from.
