It’s me, the admin who hasn’t really been keeping up with the blog.
I am now in a place in my recovery that I feel I can start running this blog more actively again. However, I’m going to need to revamp some stuff/reorganize a lot and might have to change some things due to the new Tumblr Guidelines coming on Dec. 17th.
My question is: How many of you lovelies would like this blog to be active again? How many of you will still stay after the new guidelines are placed?
I don’t want to do a revamp of the blog if ya’ll don’t want me to/aren’t getting help from this blog.
Please let me know what you think and what not. (Also, if I go ahead with the revamp this will include getting two-three new admins to help me! )
I'm 13 and I think I have BIID (Body Integrity Identity Disorder) but I don't know how to tell my parents or my therapist, help!
Since you are already seeing a therapist, just mention to him or her that you are feeling some issues with your body and body image. There is a lot of different body-related mental illness, and it’s important you get help before anything gets worse.
I am going to say that being 13 is tough because your body is doing all that puberty crap (I mean, stuff) and it can make it hard to feel at home in your body. Most teens do deal with some body images issues, but only a qualified therapist or psychaitrist can tell you if they are within the norm, or if they are symptoms of a mental illness. The therapist can help you figure out where to go with your treatment, only if you are honest with him or her about your issues.
Hi, I am always tired, I fall asleep at school, in a bus, during studying. I often sleep 12 hours but it does not matter, I am tired anyway. What should I do? Thank you for any advice :)
This could be a sign of depression, but it could also be something physical. I have fibromyalgia, and wrote the fatigue off as my depression for years. Please talk to your primary care provider (doc). It could be something has simple as not enough of a certain vitamin, or something has complex as a fatigue syndrome. Either way, you are not alone. There is help. I would talk to your physical doc first to rule that out, and then look in to seeing a therapist and/of psychiatrist.
I think I'm a germaphobe. Everyday when I'm washing my hands in the school bathroom, I cringe when I have to touch anything because I think of how people would transfer germs to door handles and the tap and soap dispenser and I obsess over how germs move through the air after someone coughs. I try not to let it occupy too much of my thoughts, but this 'germ path mapping' happens a lot and it makes me so uncomfortable! Is there a term for this? How do I stop?
I cannot diagnosis anything since I am not a doctor/psychiatrist. However, if it’s interfering with your life I strongly suggest seeing someone. I do know that sometimes OCD can be “maninly” germ-related. It sounds like there’s a lot of anxiety, but less ritual/compulsion in what you experience, it could be phobia related. I really suggest talking to a therapist, but you are definitely not the only one who is dealing with something like this.
I am still trying to get myself together with everything that happened. I went inpatient for about 3 days to get my meds straightened out. I’m hoping to start back up on submissions here in a couple days. The asks will probably take longer since I’m finding myself triggered really easily.
I'm so sorry to hear that happened:( you take all the time you need. I hope whoever did it fucking falls down a set of stairs directly into the path of a gigantic lawnmower
While I don’t advocate violence, thank you so much <3
Ya’ll I’m so sorry but I’m not going to be able to catch up on submissions right now or as soon as I wanted to. I’m going to explain why underneath the warning.
Trigger Warning
I was sexually assaulted the other night, in quite a violent way and it’s triggered all of my old PTSD/trauma memories. I am not in a good headspace to be working on submissions. I am so sorry about that. I relapsed with self-harm and don’t think I can read self-harm submissions either. I love all of you so much and hope that you guys are okay with a brief hiatus. I will still reblog resources if I can...
I did do the “right thing” and go to the ER and some wonderful nurses and staff took care of me. My best friends/roomate took good care of me too. I’m trying to just be okay and recover and not self-harm more/self-destruct.
Could one of your moderators check the coding for schizoid "confessions"? It appears that there are either no results or that the code is in some manner malfunctioning. Thank you!
I checked this and I can’t see to fix it! If anyone has tips on fixing it I’m not the greatest with coding yet
How cool would it be to pace in a room with like 20 other people that have MDD and nobody can judge you cause everyone understands and I think that would be really beautiful
I was recently diagnosed with a chronic illness and had to go through a med change that messed up my moods. I will be trying to get some submissions up soon!
