As I get older I’m starting to let go of the guilty urge to build permanent habits. Like, a while ago I decided I would start jumping rope every day. I did it for like three weeks and felt good about it. Then I got bored, because of course I did, because I’m a human person. So now I do a bit of kickboxing because that’s what I like now. The other week I cut all sugar from my diet, just for a week, to challenge myself. Now I’m back to eating sweets but I don’t crave them as much.

Growth is about stretching, trying new things, and setting small, realistic goals for yourself, not picking a “good habit” you’ve decided you will be doing always and forever from now on. That’s not discipline. That’s pointless self-torture and unhealthy resistance to change.

What’s good for you today will not necessarily be what’s good for you tomorrow.

A lot of people are sympathetic to the concept of PTSD but not the reality of it.

They expect you to stare off into space or be sad, and they aren’t sympathetic to the angry moments, to strong reactions to triggers, to the paranoia and fear of abandonment, they aren’t sympathetic to the disorders that are often co-morbid like personality disorders, dissociative disorders, or psychotic disorder. There’s more to PTSD than just “being shy” or scared.

[800-dick-pics]

also a lot of doctors are only treat ptsd as “white” thing bc racial and generational traumas arent “valid”

there are white people even with ptsd who arent sympathtic towards people of color and our trauma because to white ppl our trauma isnt trauma its their leg up in society, i think ppl should be aware thats theres HUGE racial gap between who even gets treatment and empathy for ptsd

and for mentally ill people of color we are feeling the brunt of the negative sterotypes and associations about ptsd, its baked into our racial sterotypes

the “loud angry black woman” sterotype is just cptsd symptoms!!!! but we are laughed at and berated because of it, we are locked out of ptsd care and programs, alienated by society and even when black women uncover our traumas/ptsd and try connecting to others we are still shunned

for black women our ptsd cant be taken seriously until people take our personhood and humanity seriously, theres politics surrounding who can have ptsd and whos allowed to show symptoms
