Why is it so hard to do anything? Or to be in relationships? It's so frustrating to not be able to see anything good in life even if it's tight there in front of you.

Gender neutral bathrooms
I am currently writing an essay about why bathrooms should be gender neutral. Would any Non-binary, Trans, parents or any one else who has experience in the awkwardness or harassment you may have received in bathrooms and your personal stories using public restrooms please reblog this is you are willing to be asked questions and cited (anonymously) in an expository essay.
My dentist once told me that letting go is like pulling a tooth. When it was pulled out, youâre relieved, but how many times does your tongue run itself over the spot where the tooth once was? Probably a hundred times a day. Just because it wasn't hurting you doesnât mean you didn't notice it. It leaves a gap and sometimes you see yourself missing it terribly. Itâs going to take a while, but it takes time. Should you have kept the tooth? No, because it was causing you so much pain. Therefore, move on and let go.
#thatâs a fucking deep dentist visit
is your dentist also your therapist?
Your dentist should quit being a dentist and become a philosopher
my dentist just tells me i need to floss more

The incident is getting worse. Warn your families. Reblog this so this message can get accross to everyone.
I will always reblog things like this, it wonât ruin your blog or the look of it, and this could potentially save a life.
PLEASE reblog this.
I have reblogged this about three times now and I will never not reblog it

getting children involved, tragic. V.V
Itâs like once youâve been hurt, youâre so scared to get attached again. Like you have this fear that every person you start to like is going to break your heart.

Do You Love Someone With Depression?
If you have a partner or are close to someone who struggles with depression, you may not always know how to show them you love them. One day they may seem fine, and the next they are sad, distant and may push you away. It is important that you know that as a person who is close to them and trusted by them, you can help your friend or partner have shorter, less severe bouts of depression. Mental illness is as real as physical illness (it is physical actually, read more about that here) and your partner needs you as much as they would need to be cared for if they had the flu.
Your relationship may seem one-sided during these times, but by helping your partner through a very difficult and painful affliction, you are strengthening your relationship and their mental health in the long term.
1. Help them keep clutter at bay.
When a person begins spiraling into depression, they may feel like they are slowing down while the world around them speeds up. The mail may end up in stacks, dishes can pile up in the sink, laundry may go undone as the depressed person begins to feel more and more overwhelmed by their daily routine and unable to keep up. By giving your partner some extra help sorting mail, washing dishes or using paper plates and keeping chaos in check in general, youâll be giving them (and yourself) the gift of a calm environment. (Iâm a fan of the minimalist movement because of this, you can read more about that here.)
2. Fix them a healthy meal.
Your partner may do one of two things when they are in a depressed state. They may eat very little, or they may overeat. In either case, they may find that driving through a fast food restaurant or ordering a pizza online is just easier than fixing a meal. Eating like this, or neglecting to eat will only degrade your partnerâs health, causing them to go deeper into their depression. Help your loved one keep their body healthy, and their mind will follow. This is a great article that talks about the âBrain Dietâ which can help the symptoms of depression, and this article talks about how our modern diet could contribute to the recent rise in depression. Here is a recipe for a trail mix that is quick to make and has mood-boosting properties.
3.Get them outside.
 The benefits of getting outside for a depressed person are huge. And it is possibly the last thing on earth your partner will want to do. Take them to be somewhere in nature. Pack a picnic and lie in the sun, take a leisurely hike or plant a garden. Being barefoot in the dirt, or âearthingâ helps ground the body and reverse the effects of living in a world of emfâs, and digging in soil can actually act as an antidepressant, as a strain of bacterium in soil, Mycobacterium vaccae, triggers the release of seratonin, which in turn elevates mood and decreases anxiety. Sunshine increases Vitamin D production which can help alleviate depression. My friend Elizabeth wrote an excellent post about Vitamin D and its link to depression here.  For more information about other sources of Vitamin D, this is a great post as well as this.
4. Ask them to help you understand what theyâre feeling.
If your partner is able to articulate what they are going through, it will help them and you better understand what you are dealing with, and may give insight into a plan of action for helping your partner. Also, feeling alone is common for a depressed person and anything that combats that feeling will help alleviate the severity and length of the depression.
5. Encourage them to focus on self-care.
Depressed people often stop taking care of themselves. Showering, getting haircuts, going to the doctor or dentist, itâs all just too hard, and they donât deserve to be well taken care of anyway in their minds. This can snowball quickly into greater feelings of worthlessness since âNow Iâm such a mess, no one could ever love meâ. Help your loved one by being proactive. Tell them âIâm going to do the dishes, why donât you go enjoy a bubble bath?â can give them the permission they wonât give themselves to do something normal, healthy and self-loving.
6. Hug them.
Studies show that a sincere hug that lasts longer than 20 seconds can release feel-good chemicals in the brain and elevate the mood of the giver and receiver. Depressed people often donât want to be touched, but a sincere hug with no expectation of anything further can give your partner a lift.
7. Laugh with them.
Telling a silly joke, watching a comedy or seeing a stand up comedian will encourage your partner to laugh in spite of themselves. Laughing releases endorphins and studies show can actually counteract symptoms of depression and anxiety.
8. Reassure them that you can handle their feelings.
Your partner may be feeling worthless, angry and even guilty while they are depressed. They may be afraid that they will end up alone because no one will put up with their episodes forever. Reassure them that you are in the relationship for the long haul and they wonât scare you away because they have an illness.
9. Challenge their destructive thoughts.
A depressed personâs mind can be a never-ending loop of painful, destructive thoughts. âIâm unlovable, Iâm a failure, Iâm ugly, Iâm stupidâ. Challenge these untruths with the truth. âYouâre not unlovable, I love you. You arenât a failure, here are all the things youâve accomplished.â
10.Remind them why you love them.
Look at pictures of happy times youâve had together. Tell them your favorite things about them. Reminisce about your relationship and all the positive things that have happened, and remind your partner that you love them and they will get through this.
(via The Darling Bakers)
More people need to know this.
This is so incredibly important. Iâve seen people with depression ostracized so many times, and I cannot stress how much it means to each and every person Iâve tried to reach out to after whatever âfalling-outsâ theyâve had due to depression. Remember to always be compassionate and kind to all friends like this, because you never know what theyâre going through.
Along with these great tips, here few extra things NOT to do:
Donât tell them to just try to think positively. This is NOT helpful because depression is a mental illness, not just a negative outlook or a choice.
Donât wait for them to reach out to you. Reaching out can feel impossibly daunting for someone with depression, even if they want company badly, so try to initiate time together as much as possible.
Donât diminish their experiences or feelings with stuff like âEveryone has bad daysâ or âI used to feel like you but I got through itâ. These might be intended to help but they donât.
Donât make jokes about suicide or self harm around your friend, as they may be struggling with those things and feel unsupported by those around them.
Donât go too long without checking in. Expressing feelings can be hard when depressed, so initiate conversations by asking them how theyâre doing and making yourself available as a listening ear. Donât assume that they are okay just because they havenât told you that theyâre struggling.
I will never not reblog this.
