IN CASE OF FIRE, USE THE STAIRS

I just want to say, this isn’t a piece meant to attack anyone AMAB or male ID’ing. My writing stems from my own past experiences and intrusive thoughts I deal with on a daily basis because of those experiences. More than anything, I wanted to write about the sinking feeling that comes with knowing you will be the last person out of the building, the slowest in a crowd. It’s a danger that people often aren’t forced to consider until they are disabled in some way themselves. Also, this is about just Being A Woman TM (one with OCD and anxiety) Hope this helps someone feel seen. Xo 💛

On days I feel like glass, it’s all I can do to lay in the sun and let it pass through me. When the day has gone, and the moon has risen, I will remain.

If you have a mental illness, don’t let anyone tell you shit about what your standards should be. Best thing I ever did was stop giving a fuck about what other people would say when I’m alone.

The only way you can shower is sitting down? Perfect, it gets the job done. You’ve been wearing that hoodie for four days? If it doesn’t smell or have stains on it, no problem. The only way you can fall asleep is with three specific pillows, that one blanket, and a fan on? Do whatever you need to be comfortable. All you can stomach is that one food that’s shitty for you? Doesn’t matter, you’re still eating something. The only way you remember to take your meds is by setting six alarms? Go for it, all you gotta do is get there.

Once you stop caring about what people would say if they saw you (spoiler alert: they won’t), it’s so much easier to take care of yourself. There’s no shame in making things as easy as possible when other shit is hard.
