your chronic illness at midday:

You can be scared and brave simultaneously

womanhood is just

*crying in a forever 21 dressing room* *fighting with your mom and realizing she has a lot of trauma* *drinking diet soda instead of eating a meal* *reading that margaret atwood quote over and over again* *erratically cutting your own hair for no reason* *staring in the mirror until you stop looking like a person* *getting hit on by a man old enough to be your grandfather* *fantasizing about being a disembodied entity* *screaming into your pillow* * thinking about being lobotomized*

the overwhelming grief of losing an entire year to sickness, violence and pandemic fatigue is settling in so id like to remind everyone that: you are not a failure, yes there is still a happy future for you, and wearing a mask is very sexy

the sexual tension between me & what i’m capable of

[starksfell]

i have this problem where i isolate myself from civilization and then get upset because i feel lonely

[ramdaughter]

your bare minimum isn’t actually that bare or minimum. my dad once told me that there’s nothing in this world that’s easy and that’s true tbh. everything we do takes energy, time, and effort. even the little things. if you feel like you’re not doing enough please try to think about your circumstances and what’s currently available to you: chances are, there’s something that’s diverting or otherwise draining you. and to pull away from that and get something done regardless? well, i think that’s really admirable! please try to take pride in the things you do accomplish in a day, no matter how small or trifling you perceive them to be. you can’t be proud of your growth if you don’t notice where you already are!

[ramdaughter]

no offense but this conversation was literally a major turning point in my life

guys again please please please please please please please think critically about those posts that are like “i didn’t realize [really common or nonspecific thing] was an adhd thing and doesn’t apply to neurotypicals/anyone else at all!!” bc a lot of the time they are completely unfounded (sometimes frankly insane) and give people really messed up ideas about the differences between nd and nt people and how those differences work. and that shit doesn’t help anybody in any way! you don’t have to pathologize and essentialize everything you do, and you shouldn’t build up firm definitional barriers between neurotypes that don’t really exist. i’m talking about that friendship post specifically rn which is a prime example (come on, you can’t characterize how all people of a certain neurotype manage something as infinitely complex as human friendship), but it applies to SO many other things i’ve seen floating around i feel like i make this post every other day. the mental math thing comes readily to mind too.. honestly just think about these things before u spread them like true information, check the sources or go find sources at least.. please

being mentally ill is so embarrasing how can you explain to a normal person that you had to psych yourself up for half an hour to like get off the floor

[sweeterthanahumblebee]

just thinking abt how all the MH professionals tell me that although i might be mentally ill forever, it’ll get less intense as time goes by. which is true. but only applicable if i stop receiving new diagnoses. bc having to go thru learning about how to cope w ptsd is <3 so so difficult <3

[bergsbergcountysheriff]

The version of you right now is deserving of love. Not you two years ago when you had more of your shit together, or the five years later version where you’ll surely be thriving. The version of you right now. The one that might just be okay, or is really struggling, or is bored and unproductive. That version deserves love. Having trouble accepting this is fine, but actively denying it is not. Your value is intrinsic, and finding confidence in that is mandatory.

me: i have feelings that i don’t want to talk about but i must express them somehow
